 When used to animate creatures, people, spirits or other living things, the base cost of this charm is equal to half of the sum of the creature’s physical attributes (rounded up). Depending on the source image, the creature may have associated mutations (e.g. poison bite, multiple heads, etc.), which cost an additional mote per mutation point. Abilities and other traits will be typical for the type of creature. Images of entities that could normally use charms may, at the Storyteller’s discretion, have access to charms with an Essence minimum no greater than half the artist’s Essence (round down); however, their essence pool must be filled by the artist with motes of her own at the time of casting. Though they may look genuine, animated images are obvious magical constructs of paint and light that lack any real personality and are under complete control of the artist. They are treated as automaton and never fail valor rolls. The artist may not create creatures with an Essence greater than her own and the difficulty on the roll to create creatures is their Essence.
-Inanimate items may also be brought to life. Artists well versed in artificing can even create artifacts from thin air. While mundane items can be casually invented, producing a working artifact requires detailed knowledge of its construction. The artist must have personal knowledge of the design plans for the artifact, as well as the minimum Lore, Occult and Craft needed to create it (see ''Savant & Sorcerer'' pg. 30). When created with this charm, items cost three times their Artifact rating in motes to summon. They may be attuned automatically to the artist or an animated creature created by the same casting, but the attunement cost is added to the cost of the charm. The difficulty to create artifacts is equal to one plus the artifact’s rating. Artifacts with an “[[NMartialArts/SableDispositionOfBeingStyle/A]]” rating may not be created. Non-artifact items cost a flat 2 motes each and are created with a difficulty of one. All items appear near the artist and must be readied by the artist normally. Note that, while items can be handed to others, it is unlikely that anyone else could attune to artifacts created by this charm before its duration expires.

All creations vanish back into their original forms when the charm is complete.

-Very nice... I can't comment on the mechanics as I don't have/am not familiar with 2nd edition properly yet, certainly not enough to do sidereal MAs in them. I should note that I've not finished with Evocation of Image yet, I really like it and I'll complete it eventually ^_^... about the same time I finish my NexusProject contributions, I suspect. *sigh* <br> -- [[Darloth]]

 This is scrumptious.  If I credit you, may I transfer a copy of this to the White Wolf wiki? [[Kukla]]
