Animal Convoking (3.5e Spell)

''A bird lands by you, it seems to want you to follow. As you reach out to touch it, you feel your body transforming to follow the animal back to its destination.''

You call an animal as animal messenger, but rather than use it to deliver a message you use it to call someone to you. The animal cannot be one tamed or trained by someone else, including such creatures as familiars and animal companions. You use the a food desirable to the animal as a lure to call it to you.

Once affected you mentally impress on the animal a certain place or obvious landmark. The directions may be complex and may include searching for a particular creature or appearance in a particular area including requesting passwords or other marks of identification. It still depends on your knowledge and can't find a destination on its own. When it arrives, it speaks in your voice and chosen language a request to be summoned to the location of the caster and will continue to wait at a location or follow the assigned creature until the spell duration expires, whereupon it resumes its normal activities.

If the creature who hears the message agrees to be summoned, they only need to touch the animal to be polymorphed into the same type of creature and compelled to follow the animal back to the caster on the shortest possible route, at which they return to their normal form.

Material Component: A morsel of food the animal likes.
