You channel the psychic imbuement of an attuned somnifer, summoning its essence from the owner’s dreamscape to manifest as a creature.

Choose one of the following forms most appropriate for the somnifer, and the same somnifer will always manifest as the same creature regardless of form.

• One beast, fey, or elemental creature of challenge rating 4 or lower
• Two beast, fey, or elemental creatures of challenge rating 2 or lower
• Four beasts, fey, or elemental creatures of challenge rating 1 or lower
• Eight beasts, fey, or elemental creatures of challenge rating 1/2 or lower

All summoned creatures are also considered fey, and returns to its original form when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. If the summon is reduced to 0 HP or less, the somnifer returns broken and must be repaired before it can provide benefits as a somnifer (including use as a focus in manifest somnifer).

Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands the creature attuned to the somnifore issues to them. If they are not given any commands, they defend the attuned creature, but otherwise take no actions.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, the somnifer can take a more powerful form, choosing a creature with a challenge rating equal to the level of the spell-slot used to cast the spell.
