Bird Charm I - Pluma

This spell allows a caster to summon up to three small birds for each level of the caster. These can include birds up to parrot size- indeed, parrots and hummingbirds are the most favored targets, as they make no saving throw against the spell's effects.

Birds summoned via the spell will understand the rudimentary commands of the caster, and (if a parrot) will even be able to repeat up to three-word messages.

The material component of the spell is a small, coral whistle that the caster must carve himself. The process takes several days, and requires an unusually large piece of coral.

Notes: Restricted to practitioners of pluma magic (the Maztica setting); common.
