Air Messenger
Components: V, S, M
Range: 1 mile
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Duration: Special
Saving Throw: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Sphere: Elemental (Air)
The air priest uses this spell to summon a small flying animal that can serve him as a messenger. The animal must have at least animal Intelligence and be within range (a hawk, an eagle, etc.). The DM decides if one exists. If the animal has more than 5 HD or possess more than 12 Intelligence, it gets a saving throw to negate the summons. The spell confers the animal a very limited ability to send thoughts, as per the telepathic devotion. The caster can name a specific person, whom the animal will try to locate and deliver a small message, up to one word per level of the caster. The specification need not to be very specific. "The mul Farggon in the merchant district of Tyr" or "the human Kalarrog in Ledopolis" will suffice, if there is only one mul Farggon or only one human Kalarrog in these places. Description can be made more detailed, at the DM's option (common sense should be used, 40 or 50 words is usually the maximum). To deliver the message, the animal must get closer than 10 feet from the target, at which point the ability to send thoughts is activated. The animal is then free to go as it wishes. Note that the target must be conscious and able to understand the sent thoughts, or the spell does not expire. It is possible for the animal to be slain by natural predators or other hazards, as specified by the DM. Base chance is 10%, modified by the place and time of the casting, the recipient's place and other such factors. It is possible for the chance of failure to get as high as 80% or even more.
Note that the caster does not learn if the messenger succeeded. Casting of this spell for any reason other than to deliver a message is an evil act (if one summons the animal for food, for example). This spell was designed for the Dark Sun campaign world.

Animal Merge
Components: V,S,M
Range: 30 yards
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Duration: 1 turn/level
Saving Throw: Special
Area of Effect: One natural creature
Sphere: Animal, Charm
By use of this spell, the druid (this spell only functions for druids) is able to merge his body into that of an animal, forcing the creature to behave according to his will. The creature must be a normal creature and have fewer hit dice than the druid has levels. The animal is allowed a saving throw versus spell (at +4 if the druid does not know the animal, normal otherwise), and if successful, the spell has no effect. However, if the druid first assumes the form of the type of animal he wants to merge with (by using his shape changing ability), no saving throw is allowed.
Once the druid and the animal have merged, the druid can cause the animal's body to do anything within its ability, regardless of the consequences to the animal. However, for every hit point of damage suffered by the animal, the druid suffers half a hit point of damage. In addition, should the animal die while under the control of the druid, a system shock roll must be made. If the roll is failed, the druid dies as well. When the spell ends, the druid is expulsed from the body of the animal, and remains in the form he has before entering the animal. This spell functions for druids only. If an ordinary priest wants to merge into an animal, he must use the sixth-level spell Monster Merge. The material component for this spell is the animal itself.

The target creature must be intelligent and have the ability to see. If the saving throw is failed, the caster can try to direct some or all of its actions during the spell. Otherwise the creature becomes immediately hostile. To determine who meets the gaze of the caster, use the rules for gaze attacks. This spell was designed for the Dark Sun campaign world.
