Minor force oozes are formed from the residue magic of the countless magic missle and mage armour spells cast in dungeons and on battlefields.
It appears to be a spherical, twisting ball, formed by dozens of force bolts folding in on themselves. A pale blue nimbus surrounds it.

A minor force ooze without the mage armour spell has AC 11 and is CR 1.
Spell Effect (Su) If a minor force ooze attepts a slam attack at an opponent, it also unleashes a magic missile, which strikes unerringly causing 1d4+1 force damage; this occurs even if the slam attack misses.
Engulf (Ex) Ooze may move into opponent's space; Opponent gets attack of opportunity or a reflex save of DC 11. If save is made, opponent is pushed back or aside, otherwise opponent is considered grappled and suffers a magic missile strike each round.
Notes[]
The Living Spell template from Monster Manual III has been used; I've allowed the magic missile spell effect to occur even if the ooze misses with its slam attack, and I've allowed a permament mage armour effect. Both, I think, are in the spirit of the spell descriptions and Living Spell template, and easily covered by the creature's CR of 2.

The minor force ooze attacks one Medium or smaller target; +6 vs. Reflex. On a hit, the target is grabbed and pulled into the ooze’s space; the target is dazed and takes ongoing 5 force damage until it escapes the grab. A creature that escapes the grab shifts to a square of its choosing adjacent to the ooze. | ||
