You awaken one or more trees or animals to humanlike sentience.

Failure indicates that the spell fails for all targets.
The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you.
You have no special empathy or connection with it, but it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it.

Awakened plants gain the ability to move their limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and they have senses similar to a human's.
An awakened animal has 3d6 Intelligence, a +1d3 bonus to Charisma, and +2 HD.
An awakened tree or animal can speak one language that you know, plus one additional language that you know per point of Intelligence bonus (if any).
