Spells? A "control thoughts" or "influence" spell that (only) worked
on
animals would have a lower drain and be pretty easy to cast (most animals
don't have very high willpower). Tjhere is also the "borrow animal sense"
spell from Awakenings. A sorcery adept with a geas of only casting spells
on animals would be a good Beastmaster.
