Buonacorsus' Animation

The Animations of the Augustan Brotherhood are Magic Things, even though they are mere shadows of true Magic Creatures. The animation hidden in the Septizodium does not have the power of original thought, even though it has been awakened, nor can it move. It has a single power that must be triggered by someone else, like an enchanted item. The power has a Penetration of 21.

Carbonius out of his sanctum in the Temple of Mercury. After casting his spells on Bonaventura, Alyates spies on the magi if he can. After watching them for a few minutes he decides whether he should continue or not, based on what they do. If they get too close to him, he will abandon his efforts and retreat from the city.

If the magi arrive in the morning, there is a chance that they notice Buonacorsus triggering the enchanted statue from the Colosseum (see later: The Animation).
