You imbue an inanimate and unattended object with mobility and a semblance of life. An animated object can be made of any non-magical material. The animated object moves and attack as you direct to the best of its ability. Initially, you may animate a small or smaller object, but for each three caster levels above 3rd, you may animate an object one size larger than before. Thus, at 6th level, you may animate a medium object, at 9th level, a large object, at 12th level, a huge object, at 15th level, a gargantuan object and at 18th level, a colossal object.
The Monster Manual has game statistics for animated objects.
Animate single object can be made permanent with a permanency spell (minimum caster level 10th; 1000 XP).
