Necromancy
Level: Clr 5
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Range: Close (10 feet / level)
Effect: The remains of one dead creature
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell is similar to Find Familiar in that the spell will conjure an animal in spirit. To conjure this spirit the remains of a dead animal must be within the range. Only one animal spirit can be called at one time. The creature must have less that 10 intelligence. The spirit can only be seen by the caster. The animal can do all that it could while it was alive (e.g. if the animal is a horse the caster can ride the horse and travel like he could on a normal horse). The animal also has the new ability in that it can mentally communicate with the caster for up to 100 km away. Also it can enter the body of a living creature and control it (see animate) and it can maintain the creature with a 90% animate or until the spell wears off. See Find Familiar to see how the spirit interacts with the cleric.
