This spell counts as both Transmutation and Necromancy.

The caster adds the blood of the large cat to the alchemical solution, then pours half of it over the egg, which is infused by the essence by the spell. (The egg did not need to be fertilized, but cannot have been dead for more than 24 hours.) Once the egg has been treated with the solution, an incision is made into the stomach of the goat, where the egg is inserted, and then stitched shut. Once the procedure is completed the goat must be made to drink the other half of the alchemical solution.

The goat needs to be kept alive and well during the entire incubation process which takes 90 days. It will develop an unnatural appetite for raw meat; eating up to 10 pounds each day. At the end of 90 days the goat will die suddenly. The cause of death will either be the birth of the Chimera which will claw its way out of the goat's body, or because the power of the magic keeping the goat alive has worn off and the Chimera egg has died.

At the end of the 90 days the caster needs to make a DC 16 Intelligence (Arcana) check to determine if the spell worked. With a live Chimera being born on a success or a dead host animal and egg on a failure.

Due to the variable nature of the possible ingredients used in the casting of this spell, results other than a basic Chimera are possible. (Usually as the result of using the blood, egg, and host coming from different creatures.) (The exact nature of what hatches is up to the DM. The most common result is just a basic Chimera.) The combination of ingredients for a standard chimera are, the egg of a red dragon, the blood of a lion, and a female giant goat to serve as the host.

A standard Chimera takes 3-4 years to reach full maturity, but can fend for itself within a few hours after being born. The young Chimera will gain the use of its breath weapon, wings, and natural attacks after 6 months of age, and they will increase in size and power until it reaches full maturity. A Chimera is technically omnivorous however it prefers a diet of fresh meat. (Living creatures preferred.) 

 This spell does not grant the caster any sort of control or protection from the hatched Chimera, which are aggressive by nature, and prone to attack anything they find to be a threat, or food or entertainment.

* - ( The egg of a true dragon, (metallic, gem or chromatic.) The fresh blood of a large cat, (less than an hour old.) A living female goat, or other similar beast type creature. Plus a special alchemical solution costing 3,000 GP and taking three months to create)
