Animate

Spell Type: Utility; Mana Cost: 8 MP; TN: 15
Test: None; Requirements: None

With a successful casting, you bring a single machine you can touch or see within 80 feet of you to “life,” able to move and operate according to your will as if it were remote-controlled so long as it remains in range. No one else can operate or control the machine while it is under your command. You can also move any of the machine’s moving parts at will as if you were touching them, opening and closing doors or windows, for example, or flipping switches and pressing buttons. This requires the usual action on your part, but no physical movement, just concentration. You can use animate to operate a vehicle just like any other machine.
