Training

You may call the Scarecrow training dummy in any place you currently are, when you need to impruve your skills, to check a new weapon, new magic, or just to get a level up before some important fight or adventurer trip. The dummy is always on your level, because it just reflects your actions, magic activities ect.
Training is a good way to learn how to protect yourself if your opponent attacks you with the same skills, you have.
Training dummy cannot kill you, but you can defeat it, so it drops its shield an spear, and in addition it drops some special magic feather, necklace or such.
