One additional Beast can be targeted for each slot level above 1st.

The Beast must be able to see and hear you. If its Intelligence is 4 or higher, the spell fails automatically. Otherwise it makes a Wisdom save or is charmed for the duration.
What Changed?
2024 removes the Intelligence-4 cutoff and the explicit requirement that the Beast see and hear you. The core Charmed effect and damage-ending clause remain.
