Magic Broom

Summon your magic broom minion. For safety reasons, do not fall asleep while it is at work.

While you may not hear many of the realm's mages admit it, magicking a household broom to become a self-propelled sweeping servitor (albeit one which does very little actual cleaning) is far more complicated than it sounds, requiring no fewer than seven cants of binding.
