Gingerbread Charm

Rank 1 arcane spell (1206) Duration: 24 hours Range: Touch

This spell causes a single freshly baked gingerbread figure (up to 1′ across) to come to life.

Behaviour: Animated gingerbread figures are cunning, sentient, and independent. The Referee should roll on the Gingerbread Charm Personality table to determine the figure’s personality and Alignment.

Communication: The caster can communicate with the gingerbread figure telepathically. This only functions when the two make eye contact (the gingerbread creature must be baked with eyes) and enter into a hypnotic trance.

When the duration ends: The gingerbread figure disintegrates into crumbs.
