Controlling a Simulacrum: The caster may simultaneously control a number of simulacra equal to his or her WIL without risk of spontaneous control failure. When a simulacrum in excess of this number is created, the caster must make a WIL check against the number of simulacra. If it is failed, a randomly selected simulacrum (not necessarily the newly created one) goes out of control and behaves randomly. Control cannot be reestablished without specialized spells.
 
A simulacrum that is under control may be dispelled at will as a free action.

A simulacrum that casts magic draws energy from its caster's magical reserve. Simulacra do not suffer from any magical overexertion effects. They do not have instinctive telekinesis or reactive magic.

Under Construction/Review

The creation of a magical simulacrum of some sort of creature to serve the interests of the caster. The properties of the simulacrum affect the difficulty of casting the spell. Conjuration is a specialized field of Unicorn Magic. The caster can also only control a finite number of conjured beings at once without risking losing control of them.

The simulacrum magic attacks specified as affecting all creatures affect only enemies.

Controlling a Simulacrum: The caster may simultaneously control a number of simulacra equal to his or her WIL without risk of spontaneous control failure. When a simulacrum in excess of this number is created, the caster must make a WIL check against the number of simulacra. If it is failed, a randomly selected simulacrum (not necessarily the newly created one) goes out of control and behaves randomly. Control cannot be reestablished without specialized spells.

A simulacrum that is under control may be dispelled at will as a free action.

A simulacrum that casts magic draws energy from its caster's magical reserve. Simulacra do not suffer from any magical overexertion effects. They do not have instinctive telekinesis or reactive magic.
