Origami

2-level Transmutation

You fold up a small piece of paper into an artistic shape, then bring it to life. The paper transforms into a tiny construct with 1 hit point, 5 feet of movement, and blindsight out to a range of 60 feet (but is blind beyond that range). The origami creature gains additional functionality based on the form you choose for it to take when you cast this spell. You can change the origami creature’s form using your action whilst you are holding the creature.   Boat. The boat has a 10-foot swim speed. Additionally, the boat takes no damage from being in water, and can carry a single object of Tiny size that weights 1 pound or less.   Crane. The crane has a 5-foot fly speed. Additionally, as a bonus action, you can look through the crane’s eyes, seeing everything its sees until you cease this vision as a bonus action, or until the crane dies.   Frog. The frog’s long jump is up to 20 feet and its high jump is up to 10 feet, with or without a running start. Additionally, the frog can climb vertical surfaces without any handholds.   Shuriken. The shuriken has a 20-foot fly speed. Additionally, the shuriken can attack as if it were a magical dart, using your spellcasting ability modifier for its attack and damage rolls. The shuriken controls itself and flings itself at enemies.   Snake. The snake has a bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks equal to your spell attack modifier. Additionally, once per day, the snake can make a bite attack against a creature in its space. This attack has a bonus to hit equal to your spellcasting ability modifier and deals 1 piercing damage on a hit. Creatures bitten are injected with a magical fluid that allows you, the caster to know the approximate distance and direction between you and the target for the next hour. A creature immune to the poisoned condition is unaffected by this feature.   You can command the origami creature on your turn as an action, to which it follows your commands with little regard to its safety.
