1st-level enchantment (ritual)
- Classes: Bard, Druid, Ranger
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a biscuit baked out of meat and grain)
- Duration: 1 hour
You magically persuade a beast that you are a trusted ally. Choose a beast that you can see within range, which must be able to see and hear you. The beast must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the spell’s duration. Beasts with Intelligence 4 or higher automatically succeed. If you or one of your companions harms the target, the spell ends.
While charmed in this way, the beast is willing to perform simple tasks on your behalf, including scouting locations, finding things, or delivering objects. If asked to deliver a message, it can understand locations and a general description of a target, though it cannot reliably find an individual. A beast delivering a message typically covers 1 mile per hour walking, or 2 miles per hour if it can fly.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level, the duration of the spell increases to 24 hours. If you use a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can either increase the duration by another 24 hours for each slot level above 2nd or affect one additional beast for each slot level above 2nd.
