This spell temporarily folds and animates a flag, banner, or similar object bearing some symbol linked with the caster. The flag takes the shape of a bird of prey and grants enhanced movement and vitality to any friendly creature that chooses to follow it. The flag flies with a speed of 90 ft. per round towards the destination set by the caster at the time of casting. The destination must be known to the caster or be a specified distance and direction. Creatures following the flag on land may keep pace with it, regardless of their normal speed, without any risk of suffering fatigue so long as it remains in view. Though these creatures gain a limited ability to bypass minor obstacles (leaping over fences, streams, etc.) the flag always chooses a route that avoids more formidable barriers that might cause followers to lose sight of it during their journey. Creatures following the flag may chose to stop at any time, including if attacked or threatened.

When the flag reaches the destination set by the caster or the spell duration ends, the flag unfolds and flutters to the ground. Creatures guided by the flag to its destination experience a burst of energy and valor on arrival lasting for the remaining duration of the spell. This grants them a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and Will saving throws, as well as 1d8 + caster level temporary hit points.
