Phlogiston

Effect

The guide is a simple ball of fire which can be used to guide others to a location by the caster. The flaming ball can be seen clearly in the daylight and will illuminate a 40 foot (12.2 meter) diameter area. The guide is not directly guided by the spell caster but instead given rote commands much like a computer is programmed.

Manifestation

While basically a ball of white light, at higher levels, the caster may elect to change the appearance of the guide to look like something beyond a simple glowing ball although they still have to be small. Common forms include a hawk, other birds, an insect, or some sort of idol.
