Create Automaton

Being a legacy of the Ophidians of Serpent Isle, the spell Create Automaton is a most unusual one.

Spell Description
If a broken automaton is found, it can be repaired with Create Automaton, essentially serving as a Resurrect spell for these machines. The automaton then is reprogrammed to willingly serve the caster up to the bitter end. Note that this spell can only repair automatons, and it can't be used to create new ones; therefore the name of the spell is misleading. The spell originates with the Ophidians, but got lost when their civilization destroyed itself. The mage Torrissio rediscovered it years later and passed it off as his own invention. He was quite willing to sell the spell to others, since he jealously guarded the other spell, Create Soul Prism, for the creation of new automatons.

Trivia

 * The spell can be used to resurrect Petra, which is useful, since the monks won't heal her.
 * The original name of the spell was Animate Automaton, thus being more accurate at describing its function. The name got changed during development.
