Phantom steed

Phantom steed was a conjuration spell that conjured a magical horse (or spider in the case of spider domain clerics) for the caster to ride.

Effect
This spell conjure a quasi-real, horse-like creature. The steed could be ridden only by the caster and another individual. A phantom steed had a black head and body, gray mane and tail, and smoke-colored, insubstantial hooves that made no sound. It had what seemed to be a saddle, bit, and bridle. They did not fight, but all normal animals shunned them and refused to attack them.

The phantom steed would disappear if it sustained a killing blow. The speed, amount of weight they could bear, and their ability to travel over difficult surfaces or even fly depended on the relative skill of the caster.

Components
The spell required only verbal and somatic components.

History
The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Carbury in -872 DR and was originally called Carbury's steed.
