Your mental spells can affect mindless constructs.
Grim Totem
Effort: 5
Requires: Mastery
You may spend ten minutes casting this spell to create a scary enchanted totem instead of this spell having its normal effect. Any creatures, except for those you choose to exclude, which come within 60 ft. of the totem must pass a social save, or become terrified of the totem until they begin their turn more than 60 ft. from it. When a creature makes physical contact with the totem, the magic which makes it scary ends.
