=== OCR source record ===
<pre>Level: 5 Components: V, S, M Range: I&quot; Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw; None Area of Effect: Special Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the magic-user summons up a phantom watchdog which only he or she can see. He or she may then command it to perform as guardian of a passage, room, door, or similar space or portal. The phantom watchdog will immediately commence a loud barking if any creature larger than a cat approaches the place it guards. As the Faithful Hound is able to detect invisible, astral, ethereal, out of phase, duo-dimensional, or similarly non-visible creatures, it is an excellent guardian. In addition, if the intruding creature or creatures allow their backs to be exposed to the phantom watchdog, it will deliver a vicious attack as if it were a 10 hit dice monster, striking for 3-18 hit points of damage, and being able to hit opponents of all sorts, even those normally subject only to magical weapons of +3 or greater. The Faithful Hound cannot be attacked, but it can be dispelled. Note, however, that the spell caster can never be more than 3&quot; distant from the area that the phantom watchdog is guarding, or the magic is automatically dispelled. The material components of this spell ore a tiny silver whistle, a piece of bone, and a thread.</pre>
