-An excellent, MP-efficient spell for an otherwise [[Conjurations]]-focused caster. Spellspark Servitor offers all the benefits of a summon (MP efficiency, blocks enemy line of fire, takes hits for you), and it's a great spell for combat too. It can cast [[Bombard]] or [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]] multiple times for only 7 MP. Casters primarily focused on Forgecraft won't benefit from this spell ''as'' much, but it's easy to pick up [[Stone Arrow]] for a 3d20 or so attack from the get go. Plus, it's nice to have a ranged attacker who does not need to be close to the player.

 As a summon, servitors have moderate durability and great resistances. A lucky servitor with a solid spell can beat [[orbs of fire]] in a straight fight (while blocking [[malmutate]]s).
