Description This rite must be performed on a supernatural creature whose powers arise from the Plane of Constructs (per Discern Nature of Construct). It requires the target creature to be within the range of the rite for the whole casting time (i.e. if the creature moves out of range during the casting time, the rite has no effect). The level of the rite is equal to the magic points spent in its casting.


At the conclusion of this rite, provided the level of the rite is equal to or greater than the level of the target construct, the caster gains total control of the construct. For the duration of the effect, the construct will carry out every instruction given to it, to the letter.
