Lesser Imbue Sentience (3.5e Spell)

With soil from the earth, water of life, a firey spark and the breath of life, you grant life to the unliving but for a moment in time.

This spell grants life to non-living creatures for a limited time. Affected objects become like intelligent weapons, technically constructs, with no actual HD but an effective HD equal to your caster level for the purpose of spells which affect based on your HD. It has no feats, skills, or physical ability scores but gains an intelligence of 5, wisdom of 11, and charisma of 1. It has normal hearing and vision out to 60 ft. has your alignment, and may talk in any language the caster knows. They have the same hp and hardness as the component item and the spell ends if the object is destroyed.

It is friendly to its creator and accepts its limited lifespan. Typically they are used to awaken weapons to act as an extra pair of eyes while scouting, or items in the room for the purpose of spying. They do not persist long enough to develop any particular personality quirks of their own.

Material Component: Soil, water, the caster's breath, and an alchemist fire.
