This spell allows the caster to make telepathic contact with any non-fantastic animal of low Int (6-14) within 6 yards. The caster may communicate with the animal freely and may be able to command it; most animals contacted by this means will be basically well-disposed toward the caster, but the gamesmaster should make a WP test for the animal if the caster commands it to do anything which is dangerous or outside its normal behaviour patterns. The spell lasts for 1 turn, but may be extended by the expenditure of additional magic points.
