D&D magic does as D&D magic does. Perhaps it conforms to logic and/or physics, perhaps not. But I see no reason why, say, a magical fire might not share various properties with a natural physical fire. In their games, GMs and players can extrapolate to the extent that gives them satisfaction.
Would they? Even if they did they can cast the spell and the GM will dictate what happens. The rules say that "The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine."
I was definitely posting with tongue in cheek.
A human spell caster is bound by what human servants can do. Most casters will be hampered by the servants' dawdling speeds of 20 ft. It's just that they might not be able to keep up with aarakocra and tritons in additional ways.I was definitely posting with tongue in cheek.
Though it is funny that an inhuman wizard is still bound by what human servants can do. I bet that causes a lot of frustration in the wizarding schools of aaracokra, tritons, and plasmoids!
No, because a human servant would refuse to do that, it's a servant not a henchman
Yes. "Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability"
It's mindless. It can't comprehend commands. I'm moving it.
It's mindless in the same way as ChatGPT is mindless. It can carry out tasks, without having any understanding of what it is doing.
Why do you look for excuses for claims that a spell doesn't do what it says?
