After spending the casting time tracing magical pathways within a precious gemstone, you touch a Huge or smaller beast or plant. The target must have either no Intelligence score or an Intelligence of 3 or less. The target gains an Intelligence of 12 and a second near identical stat block with an intelligence score of 1. The target also gains the ability to speak one language you know. If the target is a plant, it gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, growing by one size each day it has access to corpses. The target also gains senses similar to a human's. Your GM chooses statistics appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened shrub or the awakened tree.
The awakened beast or plant has two minds, refered to as an ego. The original ego is held captive by the false ego created by the caster. The false ego follows commands given by the caster to the best of it's ability.
The original ego is held captive in the agate used for this spell and siphoned from to maintain the false ego. For each month of continuous control after the first, the original ego's intelligence decreases by 1 and increases the intelligence of the false ego by 1. After one year the original ego is destroyed.
The agate used in this spell is present on the surface of the target beast or plant. If removed before the destruction of the original ego then the false ego is destroyed and the original ego is preserved within the agate. The original ego can telepathically communicate to creatures touching it or the agate that have an intelligence of 4 or greater.
The original ego is naturally hostile to the caster
* - (an agate worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
