Effect: Use a Motion to command a Medium or smaller creature sized Swarm within Range to perform a Movement and Action using their Reaction. Different swarms excel at different tasks. 

Ants and other Insects can easily grab and transport small items or create distractions.

Termites can weaken or destroy wooden supports.

Bees can frenzy and sting wildly, dealing significant damage to exposed creatures.

Spiders can spin webs or cover and/or frighten creatures.

Birds and Bats can transport small items or creatures. 

Rats and Mice can chew through ropes or wires and can overwhelm creatures. 

Be aware of the risks you place these creatures in and use the right swarm for the right job. Swarms and hives may refuse a command to sacrifice themselves or harm themselves or creatures they consider allies.

Overpower: The caster can spend 1 additional Mana to increase the Range of this Spell by 5 Meters,

Or cause an additional swarm within range to Move and use their Action,

Or cause the same swarm to take an additional Movement or Action.
