Awaken

Transmutation [Innate, Animal or Element]
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Touch
Target: One touched animal or plant
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
Minimum Power Points: 11
XP Cost: 10/Power point

You awaken a living plant or animal to full sentience. To succeed, you must make a modified Will save (DC 10 - Power points expended + the animal's current HD, or the HD the tree will have once awakened). An awakened animal becomes a magical beast; an awakened plant becomes a wood elemental. The awakened creature is friendly toward you. You have no special empathy or connection with a creature you awaken, although it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it.
Restriction: as an innate spell, only innate spellcasters can learn and cast this spell.
Heightened: for 15 Power points, you can awaken a non-living object composed principally of one element, such as a statue, construct, or sword.
