Bennett's Banquet Butler

2nd-level conjuration

Upon casting Bennett's Banquet Butler, you conjure an invisible, magical servant that swiftly and flawlessly sets up a banquet dining table. The spell requires the physical items for the setup (plates, silverware, glasses, napkins, and any centerpieces) to be provided within range. The servant then takes these items and arranges them on the table, perfectly spaced and aligned, including the correct setup of any centerpieces.

The spell ensures that the guest of honor's section is given special attention and is set up to reflect their importance. If there are any obstructions where a setting should be placed (like existing objects on the table or narrow spaces), that particular setting is carefully placed on the ground nearby and not set up, as the servant cannot move or alter any existing objects or interfere with any beings.

The servant works quickly and efficiently, capable of setting up a table for a large banquet within the spell's duration. Once the task is complete or the duration ends, the servant vanishes, leaving the table impeccably arranged.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the range increases by 20 feet, and the efficiency of the servant improves, allowing it to handle more complex or larger banquet setups.

Lore:

Bennett's Banquet Butler was created by a renowned wizard and gourmand named Bennett Beauregard, who was famous for hosting extravagant feasts and parties. Bennett, however, disliked the tedious process of setting up the banquet table, a task that he found mundane and time-consuming.

To solve this issue, Bennett devised a spell that would allow him to enjoy hosting without the hassle of table setting. He ensured that the spell was respectful of existing setups and that it would not disrupt or displace anything, reflecting his meticulous nature and respect for his guests' comfort.

Bennett's Banquet Butler quickly gained popularity among other socialites, innkeepers, and event planners. The spell became a symbol of Bennett's love for hospitality and his flair for combining magic with the culinary arts. It remains a favorite among those who appreciate the elegance and efficiency it brings to hosting grand events.
