Its  shape constantly flows and changes, but includes the vague outline of a  humanoid head and shoulders. A tarsardar is an incorporeal creature formed from the spirit of a  deceased mortal spellcaster. They are created by a god or power of magic  to serve its interests on the Prime Material Plane. Tarsardars have the  exotic ability to possess and animate any magic item. A tarsardar retains the personality and memory it had in life. It    follows the dictates of whichever deity created it, but tends to obey    the letter rather than the spirit of its duties when not in the presence    of a godlike master. Tarsardars created by the same deity never    willingly fight each other. A tarsardar possessing a magic item renders    the item inert if its owner attempts to use it against another   tarsardar  or a tarsardar-possessed magic item. Tarsardar sometimes masquerade as intelligent magic items, but are often  content to lie in hiding for long periods of time. Many are curious  about magical phenomena and will move to investigate unusual magic,  leading to an erroneous belief they somehow feed off magic. A tarsardar is 5 to 6 feet tall and is weightless. It can speak whatever    languages it knew in life in a whispering voice, and can also    communicate telepathically with any other creature it touches.  COMBAT   A tarsardar will inhabit the most powerful magic item it can gain  access too. Tarsardar prefer to fight using the abilities of animated  magic items, but use their power touch if necessary. Animate Magic Item (Su): A tarsardar can move into any magic  item and animate it as if that item had become the tarsardar's body. It  takes 1 full round for a tarsardar to animate an unfamiliar magic item,  but if the tarsardar has previously animated a magic item it can animate  it again as a standard action. The tarsardar has complete access to all of the magic item's abilities,  and is treated as if it has all prerequisites required to use the magic  item (class, caster level, alignment et cetera). It automatically  succeeds at any Use Magic Device check it makes to use the animated  magic item's magical abilities.  It may make such Use Magic Device  checks even if untrained. The tarsardar can move the animated magic item around using its 40 ft.  (perfect) fly speed. A tarsardar animating a magic item can use it to  make physical attacks  and interact with material objects, but is  limited by the material limits of  the magic item. For example, a  battleaxe could attack as that weapon or  push things around, a rope  could tie itself around something and lift  it up, a glove could do  anything a humanoid can do with one hand. When  animating a magic item,  the tarsardar acts as if it has a Strength score  equal to its Charisma.  Damage to the magic item does no harm to a tarsardar animating it, but  if the damage is enough to destroy the item the tarsardar is forced to  revert to its normal incorporeal form. A dispel magic spell targeting the magic item will drive out the    animating tarsardar unless it succeeds as a Will save (DC equals the    spell's DC). If the magic item loses all its magical properties, due to  a   disjunction spell, anti-magic field or similar effect, the animating tarsardar is automatically ejected from the item.Arcane Sight (Su): A tarsardar has continuous arcane sight as the spell (caster level 14th). Its arcane sight can be dispelled, but the tarsardar can create it again as a free action on   its next turn.Immunities (Ex): A tarsardar is immune to cold damage, death effects, electricity damage,  mind-affecting effects, paralysis, petrification, poison and polymorph. Power Overspill (Su):  If a tarsardar takes more than 6 hit points of damage in the previous  round its "power touch" attacks deal that much extra damage as energy  leaks from the tarsardar's body. Power Touch (Su): A tarsardar may make an incorporeal touch  attack  that deals 3d4 hp of force damage.  A tarsardar animating an  item (see  Animate Magic Item above) makes this attack as a melee touch  attack; if  the tarsardar attacks a creature that is currently holding  the item the  tarsardar animates, the attack is automatically  successful. If the  tarsardar takes more than 6 hp of damage in a round,  the damage of its power touch is increased by its Power Overspill ability (see above) in the following round. In the Realms Tarsardar serve Mystra by trying to increase the use and allure of  magic. They obey the golds Mystra, Azuth, and their Chosen, but tend to  ignore their Magister and priests.  Some tarsardar enjoy twisting Mystra  and Azuth's doctrines, but the gods take notice and, at times, punish   these wayward servants. Disobedient tarsardar are destroyed, or  permanently transformed into a shameful creature such as a mule, toad or  Wingless Wonder.</blockquote>
