Beckon was a divine magic spell of the southern magic tradition[note 1] that affected one semi-intelligent or less intelligent creature. It was usually used on a domesticated creature of the caster, or a creature who was susceptible to the animal friendship spell.[3][2]

Effects[]

The creature heard the call of the caster from up to 1 mi (1.6 km) away, and was compelled to rush to the caster as quickly as possible.[3][2]

Components[]

This spell required a verbal call to the creature and a piece of the animal's favorite food as a material component.[3][2]

Notes[]

  1. Spells of the southern magic tradition were created in the Old Empires region and written down with the help of Thoth mage-script, a secret magic language, and thus only usable by the initiated.
