Effect	Casting this spell allows an animal of Friendly Disposition or the shaman’s Manifested spirit of sufficient size to be mounted and ridden utilizing the Ride Skill. The specific animal must be approved by the Storyteller. Unlike standard animal mounts, Manifested Animal Spirits may make attack rolls while carrying a passenger. If the caster is attuned to the mount using Speak with Animals or is able to speak to it using Soulspeak, the mount may be ridden and controlled successfully without a bridle, leaving the rider’s hands both free.
