Erik's Animal Compulsion (Quest Spell)

Erik sometimes grants this spell to his druids when they must venture into dangerous territory alone, or when they must send others on difficult missions.
The subject of Erik's animal compulsion receives the aid and assistance of all natural beasts within range of the spell. For the most part, these creatures are not able to communicate with the sub­ject, but an animal might be able to coerce the indi­vidual to follow it to fresh water or to safety. The animals are unable to understand commands or the individual's needs and desires.
If the subject was dying of thirst in the desert, for example, local animals would try to lead him or her to water. If the subject was starving, they might bring food. If the subject was under attack, all natural beasts in the area would do their best to defend him or her.
In addition, natural animals cannot be com­pelled to act against the affected individual. Dogs will not track the druid if their masters wish him or her ill (Erik knows), while war horses shy from charging.
Erik's animal compulsion overrides any other charms or natural compulsions that might cause animals to attack or hinder the individual. Only another quest spell has a chance of counteracting it while the spell is in effect.
Notes: Granted by Erik of Cerilia, the Birthright setting.
