Homunculi

Effect

This spell can form a sophisticated golem with the appearance of another human being. This golem shares a mental link with it's creator, through which it is controlled and can share information or even cast spells.

Side/Secondary Effects

If a homunculus is destroyed while being controlled, this will completely sap the controlling mage's magical energy, causing them to lose consciousness and forcing them to rest until their energy is recuperated.

Manifestation

A homunculus has a naturally earthy scent, though it is subtle and easy to miss or hide.

Discovery

The spell was first documented by Karl Adenauer in Hamburg, Germany; 1745.

• 350 ml of blood from the caster
