Animate Object
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute
You bring a small or smaller object to life. Its Constitution is 10 and its Intelligence and Wisdom are 3, and its Charisma is 1. Its speed is 30 feet; if the object lacks legs or other appendages it can use for locomotion, it instead has a flying speed of 30 feet and can hover. The object has the following stats: HP: 20, AC: 18, Str: 4, Dex: 18. The object has an attack modifier equal to your spell attack modifier. If the object is a weapon, it deals damage equal to the weapon's damage dice + your Wisdom modifier on hit dealing that weapons damage type, otherwise it deals 1d4 + your Wisdom modifier bludgeoning damage on hit.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command the animated object as long as it is within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
If the object is securely attached to a surface or a larger object, such as a chain bolted to a wall, its speed is 0. It has blindsight with a radius of 30 feet and is blind beyond that distance. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original object form.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a smoke stained mirror)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Targeting a creature you can see within range, you bring it's shadow to life under your control. If the creature has a CR of more than 3 or the creature has no shadow (either from the
nature of the creature or from the lack of a light source to
cast one) the spell fails.
Otherwise a copy of the creature is created using its game statistics and is created adjacent to the creature (on the side away from the brightest light near it). The shadow has no legendary actions, legendary resistance, and cannot cast spells. The shadow creature has hit points equal to half the
target's hit points, and looks like a mirrored version of the creature it was summoned from formed from inky black smoke. The creature is resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical sources while in darkness. The creature is vulnerable to all damage while in bright light, and always vulnerable to fire, lightning, and radiant damage. If the shadow is killed, the target creature it was summoned from casts no shadows for the next 8 hours.
The shadow acts immediately after the creature's turn, and without further direction it attempts to follow and takes the attack action against it was summoned from. As a reaction to the shadow starting it's turn, the caster can exert control over it and cause it to move and take its action as the caster directs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 5th- or 6th-level spell slot, the maximum CR of the target increases to CR 4. When you cast it using a 7th- or 8th-level spell slot, the maximum CR of the target increases to CR 5.
