You shape ectoplasm from the Astral Plane into a temporary, semi-autonomous minion. The construct is a creature, not an object, and acts on its own initiative under your direction.

Construct Building System

When you manifest an astral construct, you spend a budget of construct points on its size, type, and traits. The point budget grows with your rank, and higher ranks unlock more powerful trait options.

Rank	Construct Points	Notable Unlocks
1	4	Tiny--Medium constructs; basic natural weapons; light armor; basic movement modes (climb, swim)
2	8	Large constructs; advanced weapons (reach, energy); flight; resistances
3	12	Huge constructs; multi-attack; magical traits (regeneration, damage reduction)
4	16	Gargantuan constructs; legendary actions; powerful elemental embodiments
5	20	Custom legendary; full template freedom (TBD)
