(Animal) Control

Regular; Resisted by Will
Controls the actions of one large animal (any size) or a single swarm (see Swarms). Remember, however, that subjects larger than SM 0 increase the casting cost. Concentration is required. This spell will not work on a sapient being (racial IQ 6 or higher). There is a separate Control spell for each category of animal.

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: Variable. Cost to cast is equal to the racial IQ of the most intelligent species within the category. Half that to maintain.
Prerequisite: Beast-Soother.
