|rules=Objects come to life at your command. Choose up to ten nonmagical objects within range that are not being worn or carried. {{One|Medium}} targets count as two objects, {{One|Large}} targets count as four objects, {{One|Huge}} targets count as eight objects. You can’t animate any object larger than Huge. Each target animates and becomes a {{Onelc|Creature}} under your control until the spell ends or until reduced to 0 {{Onelc|Hit Point}}s. 

As a {{Onelc|Bonus Action}}, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 500 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what {{Onelc|Action}} the creature will take and where it will {{Onelc|Move}} during its next {{Onelc|Turn}}, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

An animated object is a {{Onelc|Construct}} with {{One|AC}}, hit points, {{Onelc|Attack}}s, {{One|Strength}}, and {{One|Dexterity}} determined by its size. Its {{One|Constitution}} is 10 and its {{One|Intelligence}} and {{One|Wisdom}} are 3, and its {{One|Charisma}} is 1. Its {{Onelc|Speed}} is 30 feet; if the object lacks legs or other appendages it can use for locomotion, it instead has a {{Onelc|Fly}}ing speed of 30 feet and can {{Onelc|Hover}}. If the object is securely attached to a surface or a larger object, such as a chain bolted to a wall, its speed is 0. It has {{Onelc|Blindsight}} with a radius of 30 feet and is {{Onelc|Blinded|blind}} beyond that distance. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original object form. If you command an object to attack, it can make a single {{Onelc|Melee Attack}} against a creature within 5 feet of it. It makes a slam attack with an attack bonus and {{Onelc|Bludgeoning}} damage determined by its size. The GM might rule that a specific object inflicts {{Onelc|Slashing}} or {{Onelc|Piercing}} damage based on its form.

|higherlevels=If you cast this spell using a {{Onelc|Spell Slot}} of 6th level or higher, you can animate two additional objects for each slot level above 5th.
