IQ20 This spell is taken from the Avalon Hill RPG Powers & Perils and modified for TFT.

Creation (C) [20+]: This spell creates life from the Enchanter’s memory or imagination. The physical form of the creation is up to the Caster. Where the GM chooses to have created creatures encountered randomly the form is up to him. Material is required to form the new creation, normally the type of material the Creation will be made from. A Stone Creation needs Stone, an Iron creation needs Iron, a flesh creation needs flesh, etc.

The creation cannot attack its creator. It understands any language the caster speaks, and based on the creation, can also speak those languages. It will follow any order within its abilities. Creations last for 30 days.

If the spell is cast at double the normal ST the creation can be given any one Talent or Spell the Caster has. (add another multiple for each additional Talent or Spell the Creation will possess.)

The Caster must pay 1 ST for each point of ST, DX, and IQ, 5 ST for each point of Protection the creation has.

Example: A mage creates an assassin to kill the King of Blenheim. He uses 60 ST and 110lbs of animal carcasses to create a beautiful woman from his imagination, based on the tastes of the King, giving his creation ST 8, DX 12, IQ 10, and the Knife Talent. This creation now has 30 days to find and kill the target.

Failure with this spell creates a monster from the Caster’s subconscious based on the same amount of ST used in the spell. The caster has no control over this monster, make a reaction roll now. If the roll is friendly or neutral, the creation will leave, if it is hostile, the creation attacks the caster.

On a critical failure, the creation seeks to kill the caster. If it kills him, it lives on as a permanent living being. If it does not kill the creator it fades out of existence in 12+ST spent in rounds.

Making a Creation Permanent requires a ceremony similar to Greater Magic Item Creation with a ST cost of 5 times the original. If he succeeds, the Creation is permanent, on a failure it disintegrates immediately. $15,000 of common ingredients are required for the ceremony and the caster can use one Mana Battery and any number of Assistants can grant the caster ST with the Aid spell.
