Item: Oil of Dynamism (Greater)
Activate 2 (manipulate)
This fine golden oil comes in a small blue canister. Carefully spreading the oil over an object turns it into an animated object of the same type. For example, sprinkling it on a statue makes an animated statue. If the animated object's level would be greater than 11, the oil struggles to animate it and ultimately fails.
This animated object has the minion trait, meaning it can use 2 actions when you Command it. You can issue a Command for the current turn as part of the activation. The object remains animated for 1 minute before falling inert. As usual, you can have a maximum of four minions under your control.
Trait Effects
Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
Oil: Oils are magical gels, ointments, pastes, or salves that are typically applied to an object and are used up in the process.
