Your consort takes a form of your desire, though it must be of small size. It has hit points equal to ¼ of your maximum, absorbs damage of its type, is vulnerable to damage of its opposed type, and can cast the orisons of its domain. It flies at a speed of 30' or moves and burrows 30' if it is an earth elemental. It uses your Divine Magic rank for attempts, speaks the Primordial language, and has a dog-like intelligence. It is bound by your command and acts at the end of your turn, taking a movement and an action, but only in the manner you specify during your turn.
