Illusion Pets: Petrified Bones and Updates
A new flavor of illusion bone has arrived, and the whole wishbone family has had some polish.
Petrified Bones
Standard wishbones replace your profession pet’s look entirely. Petrified bones are different: your pet keeps its own look and gains an adornment on top of it, so your “woodland wolfhound” stays a woodland wolfhound, just now “with a pastel ribbon-wrapped unicorn horn” (as an example). There is one petrified bone for each pet type:
a petrified wizard bone (Wizard familiars)
a petrified spirit bone (Spirit servants)
a petrified demon bone (Minor Summoning demons)
a petrified animate bone (Animated creatures)
a petrified companion bone (Ranger companions)
a petrified bardic bone (Singing swords)
Petrified bones work on any pet of their type and their adornment is alterable. Any willing merchant may change the adornment phrase on a petrified bone, following the usual alteration rules. Standard bone illusions remain fixed.
Fixes and improvements for all illusion bones
Animated creatures of every type can now take a ‘petrified’ illusion, including animates that previously reported “not an acceptable profession pet.”
Looking at a pet wearing a petrified illusion now shows the adorned look.
When an illusion ends, your pet returns to exactly how it looked before, description included.
Waving a bone that is already sustaining an illusion on another of your pets now tells you to CLEAN it first instead of silently tangling the two.
Offering a bone to someone who declines it no longer dissolves your pet’s illusion. Handing it over still does.
Waving at a pet that already has an illusion now says so, rather than calling it a customized pet.
Illusion bones cannot be used in areas where magic does not function.
ANALYZE on a bone now tells you its mode and exactly which pets it works on.
Customized pets are still ineligible.
As always, illusions are fragile. They will not survive combat and will dissolve if the bone leaves your person.
