Animate breath

Animate breath was a spell used by dragons that granted their breath a brief life and animation.

Effects
The spell created a construct out of the caster's breath weapon, instead of having its normal effect. The construct grew in size and power with the magnitude of the user's breath weapon. This construct would then go on to attack the caster's enemies. Depending on the element of the breath weapon, they had different modes of movement; while those based off a fire or cold breath weapon could only walk, acidic ones could swim very quickly, and electricity or sonic ones flew really quickly, with perfect maneauverability. Each of the construct's attacks would be suffused with the breath, but it would deal a fixed damage, independently of the breath's actual strength.

Components
Besides its somatic component, animate breath required a breath weapon to be used alongside the casting.

Trivia
Though there was no telling what a construct's speed would be if it were based off of a force breath weapon, it would be armored, instead of naturally tough.
