	'''Unseen servant''' is a spell that conjures a magical, invisible lackey, an entity whose presence is universally ignored by most creatures except those the caster explicitly designates. It moves and acts without drawing attention, making it an ideal assistant for mundane tasks. Only creatures from another plane of existence can recognise the servant for what it is and, if desired, they can dispel the dweomer by dealing a single [[Hit Points\|hit point]] of [[Damage (hit points)\|damage]].

-'''Unseen servant''' conjures a magical lackey whose presence is unerringly ignored by most creatures, except those the caster designates.  Only creatures from another plane of existence will recognize the servant for what it is — and can dispel the dweomer by causing it a single [[Hit Points|hit point]] of [[Damage (hit points)|damage]].  Most earthly creatures, however, won't give the servant a second thought, even if the servant is holding a light source that enables those creatures to see.

-== Duties ==
+The servant is capable of performing a wide range of simple labours, including but not limited to cleaning, carrying equipment, fetching items, opening doors, [[Cooking (sage ability)|cooking]], gathering wood or water, burying a fire, binding wounds, setting up or breaking down camp and [[Assisted Riding|leading an animal]]. While it completes these tasks proficiently, it possesses no actual [[Sage Ability|skill]], meaning it cannot handle delicate or complex operations such as crafting, [[Combat|combat]] or [[Spellcasting|spellcasting]].
-The servant has a limited carrying capacity of only 20 lbs.  Therefore, it cannot pick up any person and carry him or her elsewhere.  It's strong enough to drag a creature up to 80 lbs. for a distance of 1 combat hex per round, if need be.
+When searching a [[Backpack|backpack]] or [[Saddlebag|saddlebag]], the unseen servant possesses an instant, perfect awareness of the contents, meaning it will always retrieve an item in the shortest possible time as determined by the [[Action Points#Search a back pack|minimum action point cost]].
 == Movement ==
-An unseen servant has 5 [[Action Points|action points]] (AP) for the purpose of defining what it can do in a single round.  However, none of these action points are needed for movement.  The servant can move anywhere within the spell's range instantaneously; points are only needed to limit what it actually does.
+The unseen servant possesses 5 [[Action Points|action points]] (AP) per round, dictating what it can accomplish, but movement itself does not consume AP. The servant can move anywhere within the spell's range instantaneously, allowing it to perform multiple tasks in different locations with exceptional speed.
-:'''For example''', if a dagger were lying 35 ft. from the caster, the unseen servant could pop out to it and "draw" the weapon from the ground (1 AP), return to the caster and pass it over (1 AP) and still have time to pop to someplace else to search a back pack (3 AP).
+: For example, if a dagger were lying 35 feet away from the caster, the unseen servant could appear next to it, "draw" the weapon from the ground (1 AP), return to the caster and pass it over (1 AP), and still have enough time to move elsewhere and search a backpack (3 AP).
 == Combat ==
-The servant cannot fight or defend itself; therefore, an enemy has a +6 bonus [[Roll to Hit|to hit]] an unseen servant.  When active on amid a melee, it's location must be indicated; other creatures can enter it's hex unimpeded, whereupon the servant is immediately re-located to the nearest empty hex.
+The unseen servant cannot fight, defend itself or block movement. If attacked, an enemy receives a +6 [[Roll to Hit|bonus to hit]] due to the servant's vulnerable nature.  If present amidst a melee, its location must be specified — but other creatures can pass through its hex unimpeded. If an entity enters the servant's space, the servant is automatically relocated to the nearest empty hex without affecting the movement of others.
