Summon Beast

Spell Type: Utility; Mana Cost: 22 MP; TN: 17
Test: None; Requirements: None

You summon a mundane wild animal from the local area, which remains loyal to you until the next sunrise or sunset, whichever comes first. The animal understands your spoken commands and follows them to the best of its ability. Though you may specify the type of animal, the Game Master is the arbiter of what type of animals are available to answer. Summoned animals do not fight to the death and are likely to flee when they’ve lost more than half of their Health (at the GM’s discretion) unless you succeed on a Communication (Leadership) test to keep the beast around, or the animal succeeds on a Willpower (Morale) test. The TN of these tests depends on how dire the situation is but should rarely be less than TN 13.
