Figurine of Wondrous Power

Wondrous Item, Rarity Varies

A Figurine of Wondrous Power is a small statuette that can be used to summon a creature into existence. Upon taking a Magic action to throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet, it transforms into the creature described by the figurine. The creature is friendly to you and your allies, understands your languages, obeys your commands, and acts on your Initiative count.

Each figurine has a specific duration for how long the summoned creature remains in its creature form, after which it reverts back to its statuette form. The figurine can’t be used again until a certain time has passed, as specified in its description.
