Construct

A construct is an object a character sets up or creates that acts on its own: ballistas, ice crystals, spores, armour shards, Mountain Bells, and a Steelskaldr's living weapons. Its durability is its health, and it runs out by itself in its lifetime: effect duration lengthens the lifetime and reduced decay slows the loss. At zero a ballista falls and the created ones go off. Living weapons do not decay: their durability is a real item's. A bonus for constructs reaches every construct that has the bonused property.
