ha, pretty random question...

most people would not post up their spirits' names for safety reasons, since it's possible for a spirit to be rebound unwillingly by a very powerful witch.
is it the same with servitors though?

One of mine seems to have been hijacked by someone once.
It noticed at once. And, it prevented hijacking by itself.

I certainly hope not...But from what nemurineco said it might be possible.

Mine can't. You have to program it not to be stolen.

Programming codes can be broken by force and reinstated under the operator. I do it all the time to my enemies.

Yes, admittedly I've done the same before, but with any offensive spell, YOU must be stronger than your opposer. So you build on the code every single day, you'll be well off unless your enemy is a megawizard.

Thanks for all the kind feedback. :wizard:

The answer is, constructs can be 'stolen', but not by using their name. Instead, the person has to be good enough to go in and alter the construct's programming. Well-made constructs have many safeguards against this. It's a good idea to put in a last-ditch defense against hijacking--if all else fails, the construct will self-destruct. You can always make another, and it's better to have it self-destruct then fall under the control of a hostile psi.

Interesting thread...

Do you give names to the constructs you create WingedWolfpsion? I've been referring to my troll and fruit bat as Troll and Fruit Bat. They've worked for me very well. My boss stays busy in her office and leaves the staff alone. :thumbup: The troll interrupted a domestic dispute and made both parties leave and when they came back they were SUPER quiet. :lol:

You can name them if you want i am pretty sure she doesnt give them names

my servitors can only be corrupted or hijacked then again i can re corrupt them again :lol: but i am having troubles with contructs :S tho making psiballs is something i am becoming better
In most techniques i use the servitor (is bound-housed) to an item so i simple destruct or try to reprogram them using said item tho most dont live past a month unless they are on my aura
