Rider Within

Regular
Works on any type of animal (but not sapient beings). This is the animal
version of the Soul Rider spell. The caster becomes able to see through the
subject’s eyes, hear through its ears, etc, as long as he concentrates. (He
also remains aware of his own body and may act normally.) The caster
exerts no control whatsoever over the subject, and the subject is unaware the
caster is “watching.”

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: 4 to cast. 1 to maintain.
Time to cast: 3 seconds.
Prerequisites: At least two different (Animal) Control spells. The caster
must also know the (Animal) Control spell for the type of animal being “rid-
den” before he can use this spell on that type of animal.

Item
A pair of identical pieces of jewelry – one gold, one silver. The gold one
must be worn by the caster, the silver one by the subject (e.g., on a collar).
The spell can then be cast at any time, regardless of distance. Usable only by
a mage. If a Powerstone is included in the item, it is in the gold one. If either
item is broken, the other loses its enchantment.
Energy cost to create: 1,000 (for the pair). Each of the pair must contain an opal worth $100.
