QUOTE
Is the entity a thoughtform ?
As the other guy stated, its really semantics. But, taking my own terms, I'd say that a thoughtform is an extension of an entity. Entities are sentient, and have minds of their own. Thought-forms have a more ambiguous sentience, often individual

And what tools/items needed to create.
Beyond stamina and being able astrally project, prudence. amazing amazing amounts of prudence. Also, being able to make multiple drafts of your constructs, aka killing them and redoing it over and again until its somewhat functional.

And what range of tasks can be set, and what are recommended ?
Make them as menial as possible. Do not depend on them. One thing I find incredibly silly is that most people seem to think that you can create functional imaginary friends and super soldiers. Its impossible to create an entity with 1. genuine sentience and 2. stronger than you. Its already ridiculously difficult to create something of 'equal' power as the creator.
In addition, they're really just 'programmed' additional spiritual limbs, don't count on them to do things you wouldn't do yourself.
