In free form the tim are blue, glowing spheres of sparkling energy. Their bound animate forms are limited to such things as frogs, spiders, fish, insects, snakes, or plants with unusual senses or abilities. They are usually bound to entryways or else physically restricted to an area, since they are incapable of understanding even simply commands. Their inanimate forms are restricted to the simplest of items, below even a +1 weapon or shield. Such items are limited to a single use per day since the gingwatzim powering it needs that long to recover.
