The Dominate Beast talent allows a character to temporarily subdue and control an animal, wild or trained. If the character makes a successful Dominate Beast test against the animals spell defense, he can establish dominance over the animal for a number of minutes equal to her rank in Dominate Beast. An animal under the influence of Dominate Beast will not take any hostile actions against the character using the talent. The character may command the animal to perform a simple task that requires less time than the duration of Dominate Beast. The task cannot pose more danger to the animal than to the character.
