Capturing Low Level Monster

This can be quite difficult to accomplish. In order for the posession to work the animal must remain in the skills range. Otherwise the attempt will fail. If you sucessfully complete the skill and capture the animal, it will be assigned a "usage bar" as seen on the left. On the contrary, if you complete it and fail, the animal will attack you.

Skill Bar
The buttons marked 1, 2, and 3 control what your pet does.
1) This is the manual button. When you have this selected you must tell your pet what to do, by clicking the attack button (B) or the retreat button (A).
2) This is defense mode. Your pet will automatically attack if something attacks you.
3) This is a "free for all" mode. Your pet will attack any monster near by on it's own (whether you select it or not).

Notes
There are a couple of things to note about pets with this skill.
1) They CAN die, and at the moment they do not "self heal". However, there is a trick to this. If your pet drops to far in it's HP's, just log out then back in or go into the nearest city. It will return to full health/mana. Another way to protect it's hp's is to put it in defense mode and you attack first, so monster swarm after you instead of trying to kill your pet.
2) Some quest monsters WILL attack your pet. In particular, for the quest to protect "Karin" (the missing child), the Quest Nis's will go straight for your pet when you walk by on your way to Karin. It is possible that other Quest Monsters and hostile monsters will gun for your pet without warning, but this is NOT confirmed.
3) When the time has run out on control of your animal, it will attack you. So be careful. However, I avoided an attack by riding the wingrider and going into the city (luckily just as the time ran out).
