Seen Servant

You know.  Sometimes... Sometimes magic really doesn't need to be played with.  Like, arcane experiments are all fine and dandy, but there is such a thing as too far!

These right here, these things?  Believe it or not, you've seen them before.  Or, well, you haven't... that was the original point... but if you've had any interactions with wizards, you were certainly familiar with them!  These are unseen servants given form!

There were a number of spells modified, from a number of casters, put together in order to try to create the abominations. Awakening, True polymorph, Simulacrum...  Look, I'm not the psycho who worked this equation out, I'm just the poor soul that has to describe the result.

These... Seen Servants, I think is what they were called, are a little smarter than their unseen counterparts.  But only a little.  They don't really have things like... Self preservation, or understanding how to disobey or why disobeidence would be a good thing.  They don't vanish after a short amount of time, like normal Unseen Servants, but... ya know, sometimes I wish they would?  They don't tire, but they ache, but they don't comprehend what pain is, so it doesn't make them stop.  It's easier to tell them to do things that a normal unseen servant couldn't do, like attack things.  they aren't GOOD at it, per-say, but they're obedient enough to try!

Look, if you want to create your own, Archwizard Ulrich of Thelin has the instructions.  I don't necissarily reccomend it, but, I have no control over your decisions.  Supposedly 'a more loyal servant you will never have' but... at what cost?
