Durration: 8 hours You touch a beast, it's AC is no lower then 10+Dex+1/2, and it's saving throws are no lower then it's stat + 1/2 your proficency.   Shield Pet: Level 1 If you and your pet are subject to the same area of effect, you may use your reaction to have that effect only target you.   Revivify Beast: Level 2 ranger spell. You can bring back to life a beast that has died in the past minute.  The creature has 1 hit point, and takes disvantage on all checks untill it finishes a long rest.  This does not regrow body parts. At higher level: Casting this spell at a higher level allows for more time to have passed.  1 hour for level 3, 1 day for level 4, and 1 month for level 5.   Pet Rescue: Level 3 ranger spell. 1 bonus action If you are on the same plane, you can teleport a beast marked by this ritual to an unoccupied space within 5' of you. Ritual: You spend 10 minutes putting a magical mark on a willing beast.  This mark lasts until the beasts body is destroyed, you use this ritual again, or it is dispelled.   You know if the mark is gone, though not neccicaraly why.   If the beast is on another plane, the mark is suppressed and appears to be gone to you.  You can perform this ritual even you otherwise can't perform rituals.   Linked Minds: Leve 3 Durration: 8 hours You can communicate with your pet telepathicly as long as you are on the same plane.  In addition, you can spend an action to see though it's senses.  You are blind and deaf while doing so.  You can spend another action to return to your own senses. At higher level: At level 4 it takes a bonus action to swich senses. At level 5 you can see though both sesnes at the same time.

Niice.   Revivfy Beast ... could treat it like a normal PC, with the 3 death saves thing (although that might be a lot of bookkeeping).   Linked Minds ... yeah like Familiars.   Summon Pet ... hmmm, not so sure on this one, Wiz can get Phantom Steed and Pally can get Find Steed, at level 5 ; or those other choices.  Balance = ??

These are gifted spells, correct? As opposed to spells that you must select against your maximum?
