Call Animal or Bird (Priest Spell)

Before casting this weaker form of animal summoning, the druid must decide if the spell is an animal call or a bird call, as the verbal and material components are different. After casting, all animals (or birds) of size T within the area of effect that are susceptible to the animal friendship spell come to the druid: this takes 1 to 4 rounds. Once most of the animals or birds arrive, the spell lasts for three rounds, plus one round per caster level. During this time, the called animals (or birds) are charmed; they will stay and not harm the calling druid or other animals or birds called. They act normally with respect to other creatures, fighting if attacked as if they were cornered; no other control is evident to onlookers without the use of further spells (such as, detect charm). After the spell has expired, the called animals or birds
return to their normal territories, the charm lifted. The spell typically calls 3d6 creatures with HD or less, or 2d6 creatures with /: HD or less.
The material components are two handfuls of food appropriate to the type creatures summoned: the food is eaten by the animals (or birds) called.
Notes: Very rare spell for druids and similar specialty priests. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
