Animal Companion help

I got my Ranger to 30 and the animal she wants to summon as her companion is in the Silent Path area outside of Voln. So, this happens:
>prepare 630
As you begin to prepare the spell the wind blows small objects at you thwarting your attempt.
Is there a way to prep the spell here? I checked the surrounding area and this is the only room with that particular animal companion.

That's an anti-magic room. Try preparing the spell in the Courtyard and then SUMMON (ANIMAL) in that room. It might get around the anti-magic bit.

You are my favorite. That did it. Thanks!

Glad to hear it.
