How do we allow a character to build a Creation Forge?

I'm looking for a combination of effects whose result is Effigies.
Intelligent Effigies would be a bonus. The end result should have as few non-automated elements as possible.
Matter of fact, simplest scoring method I can think of would be to start at 10 points for any machine that succeeds in the goal and deduct 1 point for every instance of non-automation.

Any source is fair game. Though, non-official stuff might be easy-mode.

The simple formula so far:
Magic Traps + constructs are magic items rules interpretation + Effigies + Living Metal (MoF179) + Livewood (ECS127) = Creation Forge?

Other potential candidates for inclusion:
- Inscribe Rune (PGtF40)
- Dweomer of Transference (EPH220)
- Glyph of Warding (PH236)
- Glyph Seal (MIC161)
- Energy Transformation Field (MoF92)
- Shalantha's Delicate Disk (LEoF33)
- Unseen Servant (PH297)
- Craft Contingent Spell (CA72)
- Contingency (PH213)

Rules definitely allowed:
- construct are magic items and can be built as Custom Magic Items
- Pathfinder Modifying Constructs (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/magic/buildingAndModifyingConstructs.html) rules
- Feats in Items sidebar from Arms and Equipment Guide
- Custom Magic Items (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm) rules from the DMG
- Custom Spells with the limits of one term changed per spell level with a +1 spell level increase at the end of the process
- whatever else we can find that serves our ends

Suggestions of spells, items, materials for the above list are welcome. Trying to list all of the spell storing spells and spells that could obey "programming" to act as automated parts in our great machine.

Any takers?
