The exact nature pf the powers gained via this spell is dependent on the level of the caster. A caster of level 7 or lower receives any or all skills the touched animal may possess. The caster gains ranks in those skills equal to the animal's ranks or his own, whichever is higher. At caster level 8 or higher, the caster also gains all the feats the touched animal possesses. At caster level 11 or higher, the caster may also use any of the animal's extraordinary abilities. Whatever skills, feats, or abilities the caster borrows from the animal, the affected animal does not possess for the duration of beast soul. Borrowed skills are considered to be rank zero for the animal, and it loses use of the borrowed feats and extraordinary abilities.

The spell must be cast on a willing animal, so the caster must have some way of communicating with the creature in order to gains its agreement. Usually the animal will expect some sort of service or other recompense from the caster in exchange for its consent.
