A dozen cabbage demons spilled forth, bludgeoning the orc into oblivion.

This spell summons "minions" of any appearance who attack and harass opponents for minor damage. These minions take up a 5 ft square, but they can fit inside squares occupied by themselves or others, and move anywhere within the spell range instantly once each round provoking no attacks of opportunity. At the end of your turn they attack automatically hitting and dealing 1 point of bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Damage reduction applies normally. These minions can be attacked; they have your saving throws, your AC, 1 hp. As a spell effect they cannot be healed and are subject to dispel attempts to dispel the entire spell effect.

As such, you can spread your minions anywhere within the spell's range or focus attacks. For example a level 20th caster focusing all 40 minion attacks on a single creature deals 40 damage.

If minions are destroyed you regenerate 1 minion each round, up to your maximum.

Material Component: A handful of ground up bone dust. If you add enough special materials (such as cold iron or adamantine) to make a single ammunition out of said materials, your minions carry that property on their attacks for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction.
