Summons an extraplanar elemental and binds it to a durable shell forged from the caster's own magic. The servitor is capable of unleashing some of the destructive spells known to its creator, though the strongest and most volatile of magics cannot be imbued in this fashion.

You can sustain at most one creature summoned by this spell.

Spellforged Servitor is a level 7 Conjurations/Summonings spell which calls a spellforged servitor into existence. This is a fairly durable, omni-resistant construct which knows one destructive spell from your own list of known spells. The spellpower of its spell is based upon the spellpower with which you cast Spellforged Servitor in the first place.

It will know the first among the following spells that you have memorized and can cast with a greater than 50% success rate. The current spell choice is displayed in the full spell description for Spellforged Servitor.

Strategy

  • As its offenses are based upon the destructive magic you know, casters specializing in Conjurations who dabble in Summonings are much more likely to benefit from this spell than are summoners who dabble in Conjurations.
  • Servitors may not have very high HP or defense, but they come with excellent elemental resistances, allowing them to endure significant elemental assaults. A lucky spellforged servitor with a solid spell can defeat a titan or orb of fire in a straight fight.
  • Conjure Ball Lightning is even less safe in a servitor's hands than it is in yours. Make sure to have electricity resistance if you choose to arm your servitor with the spell.
