Each natural beast in your delivery makes its own Charisma save. On a failure it becomes Friendly toward you for the duration: it won't attack you unless threatened or harmed, and it tolerates your presence. While the spell lasts you can share simple intent, emotional tone and basic meaning with it, and it answers through behavior and instinct. It gains no speech, deep reasoning or absolute obedience. If you or your allies harm the beast, the spell ends for it. A beast that critically fails is also Dazed until the start of its next turn.
Delivery restriction: Touch or Remote only; with Remote, each target beyond the first costs +1 Strain.
Optional Modifiers
- Quick Bond (+1): Cast it as an Invocation instead; the duration becomes 5 rounds.
- Deep Rapport (+3): Cast it as a Ritual instead; the duration becomes 1 hour. You can share simple images, directions and intentions more clearly, so the beast can handle slightly more specific safe tasks. [4+ ranks]
- ★ Pack Bond (+2): You can use area deliveries, at double the delivery's Strain cost. [School Mastery, 6+ ranks]
Critical Success
The beast is especially receptive and will also carry out one simple, safe request it can reasonably understand.
