With the bogun made, you take the final step and imbue it with sentience, breathing life into your new servant and companion.
Beget bogun allows you to infuse living magic into a small mannequin that you have created from vegetable matter. This is the final spell in the process of creating a bogun.
CONSTRUCTION
Unlike a homunculus, a bogun is created from natural materials
available in any forest. Thus, there is no gold piece cost
for its creation. All materials used become permanent parts
of the bogun.
The creator must be at least 7th level and possess the Craft Wondrous Item feat to make a bogun. Before casting any spells, the creator must weave a physical form out of living (or once-living) vegetable matter to hold the magical energy. A bit of the creator’s own body, such as a few strands of hair or a drop of blood, must also be incorporated into this crude mannequin. The creator may assemble the body personally or hire someone else to do it. Creating the mannequin requires a Craft (basketweaving) or Craft (weaving)
check (DC 12).
Once the body is finished, the creator must animate it through an extended magical ritual that requires a week to complete. He or she must labor for at least 8 hours each day in complete solitude in a forest grove; any interruption from another sentient creature undoes the magic. If the creator is personally weaving the creature’s body, that process and the ritual can be performed together. When not actively working on the ritual, the creator must rest and can perform no other activities except eating, sleeping, or talking. Missing even one day causes
the process to fail. At that point, the ritual must be started anew, though the previously crafted body and the grove can be reused.
On the final day of the ritual, the creator must personally cast control plants, wood shape, and beget bogun (see below).
These spells can come from outside sources, such as scrolls, rather than being prepared, if the creator prefers.
Material Component: The mannequin from which the bogun is created.
XP Cost: 25 XP.
