Animated

The inscribed object is imbued with a limited sentience that allows it to work in tandem with its user. The inscribed object’s wearer or wielder is considered proficient with it, even if the creature normally lacks proficiency with that type of armor or weapon.

Shield. The inscribed object hovers in its wielder’s space and protects it, continuing to grant its AC bonus while leaving the wielder’s hands free.

Weapon. The inscribed object gains the thrown (range 20/60) property if it doesn’t have a thrown property, or its normal and long range are doubled if it has a thrown property. It also returns to the attacker’s hand immediately following a ranged weapon attack.
