This enchantment, similar to the 1st-level wizard spell mount, allows the caster to conjure a number of mounts. The mounts obey the wizard (or riders designated by him) willingly and to the best of their abilities. When the spell expires, however, the mounts disappear, possibly pitching any riders and equipment to the ground.
One mount is conjured for each level of the caster's experience; for example, a 13th-level wizard can call 13 horses to serve for 13 hours. The caster can elect to conjure fewer animals than his limit. All the mounts created by a single spell must be the same type of animal and will be of varying natural colors unless the wizard otherwise specifies a color (such as jet-black riding horses for night travel). The conjured mounts do not come with gear.
The wizard can specify the type of mounts gained by this spell (subject to regional availability), choosing from the list below. Non-Cerilian mount statistics are in the Monstrous
Manual tome.
The material components, regardless of what type of mount the wizard wants to conjure, are a horseshoe and a tuft of fur.
Notes: Common on Cerilia, the Birthright setting; unknown elsewhere.
