You can have only one item created by this feature at a time; if you use this action and already have an item from this feature, the first one immediately vanishes.

==== Animating Performance ====
At 6th level, as an action, you can animate one Large or smaller non-magical item within 30 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried.

In combat, the item shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the item can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

When you use your Bardic Inspiration feature, you can command the item as part of the same bonus action you use for Bardic Inspiration.

You can have only one item animated by this feature at a time; if you use this action and already have a dancing item from this feature, the first one immediately becomes inanimate.
