Leap into animal

Leap into animal is a divine transmutation spell that allows a caster to merge with and control an animal. [1]

Effects

On casting the spell, the caster phases out of view and leaps into the target animal, becoming fully melded with it and leaving only the unchanged animal. The target must be a single animal of the same size as the caster or larger, and be willing to receive them or else it may resist. If a druid or ranger, it may be their animal companion. The caster can only merge themself and their possessions, no more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms). [1]

While in the animal, the caster is invisible and undetectable by any means, nor can they be targeted specifically by a spell or attack. The caster gains the senses of the animal, but with its own awareness. [1]

In addition, the caster may mentally control the animal to do anything it is naturally capable of, and even things it cannot think to do, such as deliberately manipulating items using its teeth or paws. However, the animal will ignore anything too dangerous or suicidal, such as attacking much bigger creatures. The caster cannot cast additional spells or manifest psionic powers while in the animal, not even those with no necessary components. [1]

If the animal is harmed, the caster is unaffected. However, if the animal is slain or if the spell expires, is dismissed, or dispelled, then the caster leaps out and phases back into view. They appear at a place of their choosing, no more than 10 feet (3 meters) from the animal. If there is no space of sufficient size, then the caster is shunted to the closest place and is injured according to the distance. [1]

Components

The leap into animal spell requires verbal and somatic components. [1]

Users
