Request Animal
(Enchantment/Charm)(Animal, Charm)

Range:  10 feet
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Instantaneous
Casting Time:  Special
Area of Effect:  One animal
Saving Throw:  Special

By casting this spell, a priest can ask a particular animal for a favour. The priest must have some sort of enticement for the animal to actually perform the favour, because the animal can opt not to carry out the priest's wishes. The casting time of this spell is 1 plus the time necessary to make the request, which may take no longer than one turn. This spell does not empower the priest to actually speak the animal's language.
For example: if a priest spotted an owl, the priest could request the owl, if it saw any other humanoids around, to fly back and alert the priest. An appropriate offering might be some choice part of a rabbit, a mouse, or some other form of owl snack food. If the owl was actually required to fly patrol all night (and forego hunting, a favourite owl activity) then probably the owl would turn him down no matter what the priest offered.
