Construction

Construction is a school of magic, focused upon creating magical things.

This is a very small school, but only if one disregards the hundreds of magic items that can be forged. Most of the research in Construction is devoted to them, in fact:

Const 1 enables the forging of Trinkets.
Const 3 enables the forging of Lesser Magic Items.
Const 5 enables the forging of Greater Magic Items.
Const 7 enables the forging of Powerful Magic Items.
Const 9 enables the forging of all Artifacts.

Aside from that, and a single line of spells focused on making armor magical, there are plenty of troops to create.

Const 2

Spell	Req	Effect	Stats
Corpse Man Construction	11 1	IT'S ALIVE! (Sorta.) This fella is always overcharged. If you want to summon more than one at a time, you'll need the Corpse Lord trait!	Ritual Local Corpse Construct x1
Clockwork Soldiers	1 4	Assembles some fellas. They run on gears, springs, and magic. Before this game, they'd break down; now they just get really tired.	Ritual Local Clockwork Soldier x10 (+½ per )
Temper Armors	2	A rare temporary Construction. If it provides Armor Protection, it'll provide more! This also makes the armor Magic.	Works Underwater 30 Fatigue Range: 15 Squares AOE: 5 Squares (+1 per ) Toughened Armor (+3 PROT per piece)
Construct Manikin	11 7	Vines can replace muscles! They also suck the life right out of fellas.	Ritual Local Manikin x16 (+2 per )

Const 4

Spell	Req	Effect	State
Clockwork Horrors	2 9	Ten gear gremlins. These also benefit from the new Exhaustion trait; beforehand, the poor fellas would Fatigue all the way to Heck.	Ritual Local Clockwork Horror x10 (+1 per )
Crusher Construction	3 10	Makes a giant stone fella. Is it a Stone Golem? No, not really. The fella is mighty, but it can't hit, and it needs a babysitter.	Ritual Local Crusher x1
Soldiers of Steel	3	Almost the old Legions of Steel! Body Protection? Covered! Head Protection? Covered! (Requires armor to be there.)	Works Underwater 60 Fatigue Range: 15 Squares AOE: 20 Squares (+1 per ) Toughened Armor (+3 PROT per piece)
Construct Mandragora	21 10	Vines can replace flesh, too! Isn't that handy? It doubles a Manikin's toughness and capability.	Ritual Local Mandragora x10 (+2 per )
Wooden Construction	3 6	Makes a giant wooden fella. Is it a Wood Golem? No, not really. Its beard is neat, though.	Ritual Local Lumber Construct x1

Const 6

Spell	Req	Effect	Stats
Iron Gryphon	31 6	A hecking cannon. Make it in a fort, and it'll stand on the walls! It cannot move, but you can move it onto the walls if you build the fort later.	Ritual Local Iron Gryphon x1
Mechanical Men	2 15	Robots! Beneath that steel plating is stuff no one else sees. They won't turn on you; they need you to operate.	Ritual Local Mechanical Man x15 (+1 per )
Legions of Steel	4 1	Is +3 Protection worth it? Yes, every point matters. Note: Armor Protection and Natural Protection don't stack that well!	Works Underwater 100 Fatigue 150% Casting Time 100% Battlefield Spell (Friendly) Toughened Armor (+3 PROT per piece)
Forge of the Ancients	5 80	A Global Enchantment. Why isn't it a local one? I don't know; other than that being weak. The furnaces now support wonders beyond your imagination…	Global Enchantment Works Underwater Your Provinces Only Master Smith +1 Forge Bonus (20%)
Golem Construction	32 35	Now THIS is a Golem; clay, a name, the works. The Golem has 2, and 85 Hit Points. It's quite dense, too.	Ritual Works Underwater Local Golem Commander x1

Const 8

Spell	Req	Effect	Stats
Siege Golem	3 15	An artificial Titan. Is it an Iron Golem? Well… sort of. It's more of a colossal siege engine. In combat, it's best against other Inanimates.	Ritual Local Siege Golem x1
Iron Dragon	42 25	An artificial Dragon. Mechagodzilla, but with wings. Break it, and it'll EXPLODE.	Ritual Local Iron Dragon x1
Mechanical Militia	5 80	A Global Enchantment. Turns on the abandoned factories. Robotic fellas will aid and abed the existing Province Defense.	Global Enchantment Works Underwater Your Provinces Only Mechanical Militia Mechanical Man x1 per PD point Iron Fly x1 per PD point after 19
Juggernaut Construction	5 25	An artificial Idol. It's a mobile Temple, a way to maybe win the game through Dominion. Divine Name gives it 3, while its Innate Spellcaster trait makes it interesting to Empower!	Ritual Works Underwater Local Juggernaut x1
Poison Golem	42 35	A Bane Blade Golem. This has some of the toxicity that D&D Iron Golems have! Just get it out of provinces you really care about.	Ritual Works Underwater Local Poison Golem Commander x1
