Hybrid Control (VH)

Regular; Resisted by Will
Controls the actions of one large hybrid creature (any size) or a single
swarm (see Swarm Attacks, p. B461). Remember, however, that subjects
larger than SM 0 increase the casting cost. Concentration is required. The
caster must know all the Control spells relevant to the hybrid (controlling a
gryphon would require knowledge of both Mammal and Bird Control, for
example); his effective skill with this spell is the lowest of the various spells
involved, including Hybrid Control. This spell does not work on a sapient
being (racial IQ 6 or higher).

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: 6 to cast. 3 to maintain.
Prerequisites: At least two (Animal) Control spells.

Item
Staff, wand, or jewelry.
Energy cost to create: 800 (will control only one particular type of hybrid).
