| Check Result | Effect on Warwing Drake |
|---|---|
| 7 or lower | -4 Int; attacks all other creatures. |
| 8–13 | -2 Int; still wild. |
| 14–19 | -1 Int; tame and trained. |

| 26 or higher | Tame and trained; can speak |
A tame and trained warwing drake is ready to accept a rider and riding gear, and it understands commands. It is loyal to the ritual caster or someone the ritual caster designates. Such a drake can be trained to accept other potential riders and masters. If the ritual grants the drake the ability to speak, the drake speaks in a broken form of a language the ritual caster selects. If use of this ritual reduces a warwing drake to 0 Intelligence, the drake dies.
