Animate Object

Range: Medium
Target: One Small object; see text
Duration: 1 round/Power point (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Minimum Power Points: 1

You imbue an inanimate object with mobility and a semblance of life. The animated object then immediately attacks whomever or whatever you initially designate. You can change the designated target or targets as a move action, as if directing an active spell. This spell cannot animate objects carried or worn by a creature.
When animating vegetable matter, note that plants smaller than Large usually don't have hardness and that non-living vegetable matter cannot be animated.
Restriction: Choose one element (air, earth, fire, plant, water). This spell only works on objects composed mostly of that element.
Heightened: Each additional Power point increases the number of targets by one. In addition, you can animate larger objects using the following formula: a Medium object counts as two Small or smaller objects, a Large object as four, a Huge object as eight, a Gargantuan object as sixteen, and a Colossal object as thirty-two.
