While speaking a long intricate eldritch incantation, you begin a ritual on a non-intelligent Beast that is surrounded by prepared creature parts and summon an extraplanar spirit of an abberation, celestial, fey, fiend, elemental, or undead origin (your choice) to form a long-lasting bond with, and that will possess the beast, consuming it alongside the creature parts to meld and transform it to an appropriate Eldritch Mount.
Your Eldritch Mount serves you as a steed and mount, both in combat and out, its regular travel speed is 8 miles at a normal pace and 11 miles at a fast pace per hour. You have an instinctive bond with your mount that allows you to fight as a seamless unit. While mounted on your Eldritch Mount, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target your steed.
As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your Eldritch Mount. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. When the steed drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. Casting this spell again summons the same Eldritch Mount, or, alternatively, a new Eldritch Mount with a different spirit, in either case, the mount is restored to its hit point maximum.
While your Eldritch Mount is within 1 mile of you, you can communicate with each other telepathically.
You can't have more than one Eldritch Mount bonded by this spell at a time. This creature uses the Eldritch Mount statblock and the extraplanar spirit origin determines certain traits in its stat block.
