As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you can stitch together body parts within 20 meters to form a flesh golem. The flesh golem has no stamina dice, but you can infuse it with stamina dice by expending mana up to your mana limit or ki up to double your mana limit. For each mana or 2 ki you expend, the flesh golem gains 2 stamina dice. The flesh golem is friendly to you and your companions and deanimates when it drops to 0 health or when the spell ends.

Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
