"Well, I must say, the process is much less daunting now than it was at Rank Three." Wolfe laughed as he double-checked and finalized the spells on the golem.
The Assistant smiled. "You could have come back earlier and learned the spell. Rank Five is generally plenty to be able to create assistants. Toning them down to more acceptable levels as a Saint is barely a challenge, I would assume.
But for general household staff who don't need a large amount of magic, or much interactive capability, you could probably teach the creation to a Rank Three Magi.
They would be simple things, but if they just need to follow direct orders to perform tasks, I believe it is possible.
They would be less of an automaton and more of a simple golem, though. A moving statue that follows simple orders."
