-The caster is limited to giving one command per round, at which time the caster must be within 10 feet of the animal when issuing instructions. The sole exception is the order, "Come!", which can be given within shouting distance — up to 120 feet.  In response to this command, the animal moves swiftly towards the caster at its maximum speed.

-Compels a single [[Animal|animal]] failing its saving throw [[Saving Throws|save vs. magic]] to perform certain actions desired by the caster, for the duration of the spell. If the animal makes save, it will be unaffected.
+== Commands ==
-The caster can ask for only one action at a time, and must be within 10 ft. of the animal before giving the animal new instructions. The one exception is that the caster may command the animal to “Come!”, if it is within shouting distance (120 ft.). The animal will then hurry at full movement towards the caster.
+:* "Attack."  Using a hand gesture, the caster indicates the target the animal is directed to [[Attacking in Combat|attack]].
-Beyond the command to come, the caster may also order the animal to ''attack'' (indicating a specific target by hand gestures); ''hunt'' (in which case the animal will return any meat it has killed, or not return as the spell duration runs out); ''defend'' (remain within 10 ft. of the caster, fighting any who approach within five [[Combat Hex|hexes]]); ''find'' (indicating what is to be found, whereupon the animal will do its best); ''heel'' (follow behind the caster); ''feed'' (eat what is indicated); or ''stay'' (remain in location).
+:* "Hunt."  Used in [[Line-of-sight|sight]] of possible prey, which the animal is directed to take down and return as meat to the caster.
-The animal will perform these commands to the best of its ability, for the duration of the spell. If the action cannot be performed, or no further command is forthcoming, the animal will typically remain where it is: sitting, grooming, perching, resting, stretching or a similar activity for as long at the spell lasts.
+:* "Defend."  The animal remains within 10 ft. of the caster and fights any who treaten the caster's well-being.
-It requires 2 [[Action Points|action points]] to give a command to the animal. Actions that are already undertaken may be interrupted and replaced.
+:* "Find."  The animal is directed to search for an object or creature, then point or otherwise indicate it's location when found.
