Sure, you can cast this during downtime, but the creature does not have the stealth or damage avoidance to be a reliable scout/spy, so all the designer's talk about being able to effectively scry through it anywhere on the same plane of existence being a very powerful ability rings kind of hollow.  You can use it to look in on the cat feeder and what the neighbor's are up to while you are away, but that isn't terribly useful.  Maybe if you are expecting your home base to be raided?  And all that verbiage about giving it additional hit points by sacrificing your own; most of the point of these type of summons/creations is to sacrifice their hit points in place of your own, not the reverse.  Like I said, more of a BBEG/NPC spell.    I would disagree, a sure red.  The damage is weak, the healing pretty inconsequential at this level.  More of a torture method for the BBEG.   I've personally thought about having this spell instantly equip the caster with a set of non-magical half-plate for the duration that shines faintly.  Maybe not enough to redeem it, but it does give it a little oomph. I don't know that most DMs would let prestidigitation get away with quite as much as your table seems to, but I think there might be more of an argument for druidcraft, IMHO.  All and all a nice list with some good points.</blockquote>
