Create Paper Creatures (Tiny)

Spell
Mashaya

These small creatures have very limited independent thought, and have to be given simple commands on a fairly regular basis. 

They can be created with up to two Directives at time of creation. Further Directives can be added with inks. 

The most common application of this spell is to create a messenger bird (traditionally a starling) with the following directives: 

  1. Look for the named addressee
  2. Return to me with their reply 

The messenger bird will occasionally need to be restrained by a sizable paper weight if a reply cannot be produced on the spot. Such a messenger bird can be reused many times, provided it does not rain.

Attunement
Effect
Requires a single scroll to create Width Threat 1 small creatures (up to roughly the size of a crow). The form of the creatures is up to the caster. If so formed, they are able to fly. Like all Mashay Chartamancy scroll magics, these creations can be augmented with various magical inks, or decorated with common art supplies.

On failing to cast this spell, the scroll is lost.
