Attuning Stones are generally a bright blue Sapphire or similar stone that is of 500 gp. value minimum. They can be of any type other than a Diamond.
A mage of equal or higher level than the Beast Hit Dice can create the bond between the stone and the Beast. The Beast may or may not be willing, and this is the difficult part and can be a big part of the process (D.M.'s discretion) once complete, A character can attune to the stone, and have a mental connection which can allow basic commands and instructions to the Beast. Characters can not give commands that will harm or kill a Beast, It still has free will, but if the bond is nurtured the connection can grow stronger, and Trust can be formed. But it must be continually nurtured. (Example) proper care, feeding, and giving a Beast freedom when not using its aid, communicating on a personal level with the beast, etc. A beast with a High intelligence will break the bond or refuse the bonding process, ( you can't bond this stone to a Dragon unless it chooses to do so). The Attuning stone was invented primarily for riding, or Beasts of burden, to keep them alive and in check in battle and assist in combat or to help them flee to safety.
Simple commands of no more than 4 words, can be relayed, unless a personal bond is built with the creature. then the command structure can grow.
The Range once attuned to the Beast is 1 mile per Hit Dice of the Character Attuned to the stone.
Notes: An Attuning stone is bonded to the mental control of a beast A character can then attune to the stone, and have a mental connection to the Beast. it takes 5 minutes per Hit dice of the Beast to Attune to it.
