Arion's Dolphin
Level: 3
Components: V, S
Range: Touch
AoE: Special
Save: None
Casting Time : 1 turn
Duration: variable
When this spell is cast, the bard creates a quasi-real, dolphin-like creature. The mount can be ridden only by the bard who created it. The Dolphin of Arion appears in one of three forms, either as a water-composition that is shaped like a dolphin, or a dolphin itself, or as a Bronze Dolphin. The form changes depending on the plane and the presence of real dolphins in the area or not.
All normal animals ignore this form, and only monstrous ones will attack. The mount has an Armor Class of 2 and 7 hit points, plus 1 per level of the caster. If it loses all of its hit points, the dolphin disappears. A Dolphin of Arion moves at a movement rate of 4 per level of the spellcaster, to a maximum movement rate of 48. It can bear its rider's weight, plus up to 10 pounds per caster level.
The Bard must sing the song of Arion as they ride the creature - this maintains the form and the magic. This prevents the caster from any other actions while playing. Any stopping of the music and the creature ceases to exist.
