Animal Eyes (Priest Spell)

By using this spell, the caster can temporarily see through the eyes of any animal. The caster points at any single animal within 100 yards, then closes his eyes and remains stationary. In his mind's eye, he sees whatever the animal is seeing. If the subject animal is a squirrel studying the party from a tree branch, the caster sees himself and the party from the perspective of the squirrel. If the subject animal is a bird soaring overhead, the caster gets a bird's eye view of the area below.
The spell has no effect on the subject animal, nor can the caster control the animal's actions in any way. The animal is unaware of the spell and acts as it normally would. The spell persists until the end of its duration, or the caster moves or takes another action. The caster may voluntarily negate the spell by opening his eyes. The spell also ends if the animal is killed, or moves more than 100 yards away from the caster.
The subject animal must be one normally found in nature. It may not be supernatural, human, demihuman, nor of extraplanar origin.
The spell requires a glass lens no larger than one inch in diameter as a focus, which is not consumed in the casting.
Notes: Uncommon for rangers; rare for druids and similar priests.
