The small workings of this construct appear as a lens attached to a mechanical version of a humming bird. It places its body over one of the eyes of the host and lays its body against the side of the host's head with a wing placed over the ear. This takes the place of goggles. This small machine like creation is very useful to find criminals who are skilled at disguise aswell as to recognize those who are either speaking or sending a message to the host. The Clockwork Herald is very methodical; it seeks the leader of a group and presents itself to that person. Its abilities include receiving messages at any distance from a person that has been memorized by the Herald, recognizing a previously met person even if they are disguised, and increasing the host's senses. The Clockwork Herald usually speaks Common, but any one language (except secret languages) chosen upon its construction.

This function allows the Message spell to be received by the Herald from any distance, unless the sender and host aren't on the same plane or one is in an extra-dimensional space. The message is only heard by the host, then can be recorded and saved by the Herald at the request of the host; a total of 5 messages can be stored at any time. The Herald can play any of the stored messages at the request of the host.Eagle Senses(ex): The Clockwork Herald enhances hearing and sight.
