Daythief (Quest Spell)

This spell summons a bird – a Daythief (a bird holy to most of Eloele's worshipers) – that serves the priest for the spell's duration. The bird is highly intelligent with regard to obeying orders, and uses cleverness and innovation to achieve its master's goals.
The daythiefs primary purposes are to spy and steal for its master. As a spy, it can fly anywhere a bird can normally go and can relay information to its master upon its return by speaking in a voice understandable only to the priest. It can answer questions about its spy mission, but it cannot make judgments or perform extrapolations from existing information.
The bird also has the ability to locate and steal small objects. The daythief can carry an object in its claws or beak up to three times its own weight and still fly to its master. The bird can be sent to steal specific objects, or might steal things on its own that its master might find useful. It cannot use its uncanny intelligence or magical speech to explain why it steals a particular object.
The daythief cannot be captured or harmed. It is said that Eloele protects her holy bird or replaces destroyed daythieves with new birds to serve her faithful priests. Only intelligent and subtle priests of Eloele are granted the use of this quest spell.
Notes: Granted by Eloele of Cerilia, the Birthright setting.
