This spell calls a number of animals (including giant varieties) of a species specified by the caster, who then perform one simple command given to them by the caster. The spell attracts 2d10 animals, or however many the DM considers are within range, whichever is lower.

The animals continue to follow the caster's command until it has been fulfilled or the spell's duration has expired. The spell duration begins from the time the animals arrive (usually 1d10 rounds), not from the time that the spell is cast. Commands must be extremely simple—usually one word only: “Kill” or “Pursue” (while pointing at the target) are both acceptable.

The material components are the shaman's drum and a small amount of food preferred by the animal type the shaman is calling.

Notes: Restricted to shamans, uncommon.
