The equine target of this spell (typically a horse, but sometimes a centaur, unicorn, or pegasus) immediately sprouts a pair of wings similar to those borne by pegasi if it does not already have wings. The newly winged equine can fly with a movement rate of 48 and maneuverability class C (D if mounted). Favor of Yathagheram akes the spellcaster (but only the spellcaster) proficient in aerial riding for the duration of the spell and enables the equine steed to maneuver and fly as if it were born with wings. As part of the magic of the incantation, any saddle, bit, or bridle placed on the target of this spell immediately slips off and falls to the ground; the winged equine must be ridden bareback. While under the influence of this spell, an equine can dive at an opponent from heights of 50 feet or higher and use its hoof attacks; each such attack roll is at a + 2 bonus and does double damage.
If this spell is cast upon a pegasus or any other naturally winged equine, its movement rate while flying is doubled and its maneuverability class improves by one (to a maximum of A).
The material components for this spell are a feather from a pegasus (freely granted) and the priestess's holy symbol.
Notes: Granted by Lurue, the Unicom Queen, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
