You create a nonmagical, unattended object of nonliving, vegetable matter⁠—​linen clothes, a hemp rope, a wooden ladder, and so forth. You can also create an object of mineral nature: stone, crystal, metal, or the like. The volume of the item created cannot exceed 1 cubic foot per caster level. You must succeed on an appropriate skill check to make a complex item, such as Craft (bowmaking) check to make straight arrow shafts.

Attempting to use any created object as a material component causes the spell to fail.

The duration of the created item varies with its relative hardness and rarity, as indicated on the following table.

Material Component: A tiny piece of matter of the same sort of item you plan to create with major creation⁠—a bit of twisted hemp to create rope, and so forth.
