You summon a beast to fight on your behalf. Choose any creature that has the Animal and Regular property, and whose level is lower than yours. Place it in a square adjacent to you, and roll your Spellcasting skill.

• Success: The creature remains until the end of the current encounter.
• Failure: The creature remains until the end of your next turn.

The creature is Controlled by you. If not given any orders on its turn, it will use its movement to attempt to stay adjacent to its last target, and its action to attack said target.

You can use an action to order the summoned creature to attack a target. It will use its movement to attempt to close on the target, spending simple actions to Run if needed, and then will use its basic attacks against the target.

The spell ends if the creature is slain. As the creature is not truly alive, but rather a manifestation of magical force in animal shape, it will simply revert to smoke.
