The mystifying magic power statuette is a rare and fascinating artifact that has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. This small statuette, with its intricate carvings and mythical symbols, is believed to possess magical abilities that can grant the owner incredible powers and bring good luck. The origin of this statuette is shrouded in mystery, with legends and myths surrounding its creation. Some believe it was crafted by ancient wizards or sorcerers, while others speculate that it was a gift from the gods themselves. Regardless of its origins, one thing is certain - the statuette holds an undeniable aura of power and intrigue. According to those who have possessed the statuette, it has the ability to grant wishes, heal ailments, and provide protection against evil spirits.
These are legacy items back from the AD&D days. Rules and terminology were far looser in those halcyon days of our innocent youth. Still they are animate objects at their core and not summoned monsters. A writer took liberties with a black panther which is fine as you wouldn't have sympathy for an animated object as you would for a lone hurt loyal creature on the astral plane who is just serving her master.
On a side note, I was also rather leery at the word Summoned initially but could not think of a more appropriate word that wouldn t take up much space. In many cases this is not an indication of an actual problem with the server itself but rather a problem with the information the server has been instructed to access as a result of the request.

Figurines of Wonderous Power- How much health do they have when Re-summoned?
I've looked all over the place and I can't seem to find a definite answer, I was hoping one of you is more knowledgeable.
So, if I have a Silver Raven flying around and someone kills it (in animal form) then how much health does it have when I re-summon it?
According to the rules I can just pick it up and throw it again, so I always assumed it came back at full health but now I'm not so sure.
So far as I can tell you are correct, it would come back at full health. The Silver Raven is one of the few figurines that lets you use it off and on during the week until it's duration is used up.
Other figurines such as say the golden lions would be unusable again until a week had passed. If the raven didn't come back at full health, then neither would the lions and that seems excessive. Since they use command words it would require a standard action to turn it back into a raven, plus I assume it would just turn into a statue where ever it got killed. If it got killed 100ft up in the air, the statue may not survive the fall.
Thank you for answering Mr. Kailas!
Does anyone else have a conflicting opinion? Or perhaps have a rule you can quote to weigh in one way or another?
What is the general consensus on this topic?
The Cheat Death ability of the Raven Master Ranger says that the figurine cannot be animated until he regains spells, so for him at least, it looks like death makes the Raven take a nap for the night to be used again the next day.
right at the top of the Figurine of Wondrous Power(FoWP) description before any specific item.
If a figurine of wondrous power is broken or destroyed in its statuette form, it is forever ruined. All magic is lost, its power departed. If slain in animal form, the figurine simply reverts to a statuette that can be used again at a later time." *grin*
All of the figurines(FoWP) have Requirement:Animate Objects. As a magic item they run off that spell and it is recast with each activation. As per the spell they gain HPs when the spell is cast, so each animation is 'new'.
Damage taken in animal form does not translate to the statue form unless it says so in the item description.
BTW as they are not summoned the title is incorrect.
That is an excellent analysis Mr. Azothath.
Still, GM's won't like this ruling if people start making Companion Figurine's with the Protector archetype that can't die and can instantly recover health.
On a side note, I was also rather leery at the word 'Summoned' initially but could not think of a more appropriate word that wouldn't take up much space.
I agree that this is not a magical summons but if you go by the English definition for summon, (A call by an authority to appear, come, or do something), then you could also say that the title is technically correct as you are calling the creature to do something.

It's a GM's job to control his home game. Making a FoWP is a high level task and characters would have to research if such a figurine were possible.

It actually isn't too difficult.
Simply take the Companion Figurine feat which lets the raven act as a familiar. Then exchange its base abilities for the Protector Archetype letting it use a constant form of Shield Other.
In one of my games I might allow it because I like to encourage creative thinking and solutions. (I love traps, guile, and tactics. As such, so do my monsters. )
However, I think this is PFS legal. So for a feat and 3000ish gold, their character's can take half damage most of the time.
I enjoy such outside-the-box thinking, but I don't think the people at Pathfinder Society will appreciate it if this works.

almost. the statue form cuts off some familiar powers (such as being in your square or touching) and thus Protector Archtype grants nothing in that form.
Companion Figurine (PFS okay)
The figurine has the standard abilities of a familiar or animal companion of its type, plus additional abilities related to its figurine type (see below). The main advantage of this is that if your familiar or companion is killed in creature form, it merely reverts to statue form and can be used again later. The following standard figurines are available as animal companions (C) or familiars (F).
Silver Raven (C, F): . treated as a . raven familiar . not its hardness when in animal form. 3800gp 24 hrs per week, or doubled (see below) to 2 uses of 24hrs per scenario (6 days). There are scenarios that last longer. Also the usage limits you to 2 familiars (worth of HPs) per scenario. Putting away the familiar and bringing it back doesn't reset the hit points within a usage. Yeah, there was a 'gotcha', spell charges in a can and each one is an activation.
While the figurine is active, you and the active figurine gain all the normal benefits of having a companion creature; for example, a wizard with a silver raven familiar gains a +3 bonus on Appraise checks, the raven can speak one language, and so on. While the figure is inactive, you gain none of these benefits but are not otherwise hampered by its inert state (as if the creature were out of range but not dead). The usable duration of the companion figurine doubles. actually the activations/charges/uses doubles in the examples (more for the errata list) but that's actually better!
Protector (PFS okay)
Loyal Bodyguard - Famlr gains Bodyguard, Combat Rflx, This replaces alertness and improved evasion. Familiar and master need to be in same square.
Shield Master - 5th level , shield other effect, This replaces deliver touch spells and speak with animals of its kind. Familiar & master must be touching.
Able Defender - 11th level , Famlr gains In Harms Way and Master's normal max HP This replaces spell resistance.
in a home game I think the time restriction is going to hit home more often as time is more strictly tracked.
The wizard will have to start with a raven (or animal) and then take the feat later when he has the spare 3800gp (and fame in PFS) to buy the raven. The raven has Weapon Finesse to trade out. The wizard is giving up familiar wand usage(Impv'd Famil) and some action economy.
How does this compare to an Aegis of Recovery(1500gp), cracked pearly white spindle ioun stone regen 1/hr(3400gp), tourmaline sphere ioun stone +2 Con vs Death(1000gp), Amulet of Spell Mastery +6 SplLvls/day (bond obj 11000gp)
In PFS it's possible to acquire a Soulbound Doll (construct) as a familiar and do the same thing, but you really lose out on wand usage.

Reviews for "The Magic Power Statuette: A Closer Look at Its Unique Properties"
1. John - 2/5 - I purchased the Mystifying Magic Power Statuette hoping to add a touch of mystical ambiance to my living room. However, I was greatly disappointed with the product. To begin with, the statuette was much smaller than I had expected, making it barely noticeable amongst my other décor. Additionally, the supposed "magic power" was nothing more than a simple LED light that changed colors. It felt cheap and gimmicky, certainly not worth the price I paid for it. Overall, I regret purchasing the Mystifying Magic Power Statuette and would not recommend it to others.
2. Lisa - 1/5 - I was excited to receive the Mystifying Magic Power Statuette as a gift, but my excitement quickly turned into disappointment. The statuette was poorly made and had several noticeable defects. Moreover, the supposed "magic power" was completely underwhelming. The LED light was barely visible and hardly created any ambiance. It ultimately felt like a cheap toy rather than a mystical decoration. I would advise against purchasing this product if you are looking for a genuine magical experience.
3. Robert - 2/5 - The description of the Mystifying Magic Power Statuette sounded intriguing, but the actual product failed to live up to my expectations. The statuette looked much more impressive in the photos than it did in person. The LED light feature, which was supposed to be the highlight, was lackluster and did not create the mystical atmosphere I was hoping for. Additionally, the build quality was subpar, with loose pieces and uneven paint job. Overall, it was a letdown, and I would not recommend investing in this product.
4. Rebecca - 2/5 - I purchased the Mystifying Magic Power Statuette as a gift for my friend who is a huge fan of magic and mysticism. However, the statuette fell short of our expectations. The LED light feature was barely noticeable, and the overall appearance of the statuette was underwhelming. It lacked the intricate details and craftsmanship that I had anticipated. Furthermore, the price seemed too high for the quality of the product. I was disappointed, and my friend was equally unimpressed with the gift. In hindsight, I wish I had chosen a different mystical decor item.
