Animal Summoning I (spell)

Animal Summoning I is a spell that that conjures living animal forms appropriate to the natural ecology of the environment in which the spell is cast. The creatures produced are not illusory, but fully physical beings, drawn into existence through magic and bound to the caster’s will for the duration of the spell. Each animal appears in an unoccupied hex within the spell's range, with exact placement determined by the caster at the moment of summoning, provided that the space can physically accommodate the creature.

The number of animals appearing is given below, according to a random die roll and the local range

The caster must roll on one of seven tables, depending on the vegetation and terrain where the spell is cast — desert, jungle, ocean, savanna, steppe, tundra or woodland.

Animals that have been summoned will act independently, but in accordance with the caster's general wishes. Thus, an animal's precise actions cannot be micromanaged, but the animals called can be made to attack a general enemy, use their bodies to deflect damage, stand as a barrier and so on.
