Conjure Aurumvorax (Priest Spell)

The conjure aurumvorax spell enables the priest to magically create an aurumvorax to attack his opponents. The conjured creature remains for two rounds for each level of the conjuring priest, or until slain, and it follows the caster's verbal com­mands. A conjured aurumvorax unfailingly attacks the priest's opponents, but resists being used for any other purpose aside from consuming gold. If an aurumvorax conjured by means of this spell is di­rected to act otherwise, it becomes noticeably more difficult to control and may refuse any action, break free, or turn on the caster, depending on the details of the situation. A conjured aurumvorax dis­appears when slain or when the spell expires.
The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol and a solid gold carved fig­urine of an aurumvorax worth at least 100 gp. The latter is consumed in the casting.
Notes: Granted by the gnome god, Garl Glittergold.
