Command Another's Pet

This spell allows the shaman to gain the immediate loyalty of any tame, normal animal, including giant varieties thereof. The animal views the caster as its true master, forgetting all previous loyalties. It obeys any commands that it has been trained to obey, but does not gain any special ability to understand the caster, and no additional intelligence; it also retains its natural instincts and character, likes and dislikes.

To cast this spell, the caster takes a piece if food suitable for the animal, and tosses it to the creature. This is the spell's material component, and cannot be reused. While most people know that dogs eat meat, for example, more exotic pets may baffle a shaman. To correctly deduce the diet of an unusual animal, the shaman must make a successful Animal Lore proficiency check.
