An Education in Drudgery

(Enchantment/Charm)
Level: 6
Range: Touch
Duration: special
Area of Effect: one drudge minion
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 round

This spell allows the caster to imbue a drudge minion with any single non-weapon proficiency he possesses for which the relevant ability is a physical one (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution). The lone exception is Endurance, which a drudge minion is not capable of possessing. Any proficiency check made by the drudge minion to employ the ability is made against the caster's intelligence instead of the relevant ability that corresponds to the proficiency.

This spell lasts a number of weeks equal to the level of the caster minus two for each NWP slot normally required for the proficiency. For instance a 12th-level caster can imbue a drudge minion with Set Snares for a period of 8 weeks (12 - (2 x 2 slots)).
