Effect

You bless a small animal to serve as an intelligent messenger. The creature gains human-lev-
el intelligence for the duration, can speak one language you know, and will faithfully deliver a
message to a person or location you specify within 25 miles. It will continually search, but if
becomes confused, injured or killed the spell is broken.

Scaling

At 5th level it can be up to a medium size animal. At 6th level, the courier can travel up to 50 miles and remember complex instructions. At 8th level, the courier becomes invisible during its journey and can phase through non-magi- cal barriers (can slip through cracks/under doors, blocked by wards, solid metal, or antimagic).

Special Notes

The animal retains its loyalty to you but gains its own personality during the duration. DN adjudicates route, travel time, weather, predators, and obstacles.
