Animal Horde

Sphere: Animal, Summoning
Regency: Special Req'd Holding: 1
Gold: 1 GB Character Level: 1
Duration: 1 Day / RP

This realm spell enables the priest to summon a horde of common animals to do his bidding. The summoned animal will assist the priest in any way they are able and return to their lair (assuming they are still alive) at the end of the spell. Any type of common animal can be summoned (e.g.: bear, wolf, rabbit, deer, etc.), but not monsters. The summoned creatures do not have to be of the same species, but the priest is limited to 10 HD of creature for each level of experience. A 16th level priest would be able to summon 160 HD of creatures.
While the uses of this spell might at first seem limited there are many things that the priest may need the animal for. If his people are starving he may wish to summon up a herd of deer, or similar create to feed them. If he is at war he may want to summon a horde of bears or hungry wolves in the middle of the enemy camp. The Awnshegh known as the Sphinx using a similar sort of effect to summon giant cats to serve him.
The only limitation on what animal can be summoned is that they must be within the province the spell is cast.
