Summoned, animated, or bound by a Sorcery user — not quite alive, purpose-built for the moment, and gone the second the binding fails. Constructs run in packs, which is exactly what makes them dangerous.

Signature moves: swarm tactics, area denial, sympathetic magic tied to the binder, a dissolving backlash against the binder's enemies.

Defeated by: the team breaking the binding, not the Construct.

Appearance: A humanoid shape built of shifting, semi-translucent material bound by faint glowing sigils along its seams; movements slightly too smooth to be organic.
