A set of a dozen or more daggers, animated through spellcraft to obey the commands of their creator. When active, they form a swarm of sharp metal that flits through the air like a shoal of fish. If they are guarding a location, they rise and circle to form a whirlwind of blades. Constructed Nature. A flying dagger swarm doesn't require air, food, drink or sleep.
