Ashworm Pellet

This item is a roughly spherical bead of volcanic scoria, about 1 inch across.

When thrown upon the ground, this pellet grows into an ashworm. This action consumes the pellet and takes 1 full round to fully form. Disintegrating the pellet or dealing it at least 50 points of damage during that time prevents the ashworm from appearing.

The ashworm remains for 10 minutes. It is an average specimen in all regards. It serves the user until it is slain or the duration ends (it can obey only simple commands).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon nature’s ally VII.
