This spell is a specialized variant of animal summoning. The caster can call a number of birds of prey, up to a maximum total of 32 Hit Dice (including blood hawks, condors, eagles, falcons, fire falcons, giant eagles, giant owls, giant vultures, hawks, kingfishers, owls, rocs, talking owls, vultures, and zygraats, among others). Only carnivorous birds within 1 mile of the caster answer the call. If there are giant eagles in range, up to 48 Hit Dice of them can be summoned.
The caster can make only one call, and does not choose which type of avian comes, if any. (If more than one type is available, the species with the greatest Hit Dice is summoned. Eagles and giant eagles are always summoned to the exclusion of other birds if they are within range.) The avians aid the caster by whatever means they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the caster is safe, or he or she sends them away. (In most cases avians are readily available. Eagles and giant eagles are most common in the mountains.)
Notes: Granted by the elven goddess Aerdrie Faenya.
