Carry Companion and spells

[Andruxu]

If I cast some spells on my Companion (for example fly, animal growth, bless, etc.) and then cast Carry Companion on the Companion, what happens after a week when I dismiss the Carry Companion spell? Are the spells (fly, bless,etc..) I had cast on the companion still active or not?

"transformed into a figurine of stone", aka object, so technically spells that don't target an object will end/expire. Other spell durations carry on as normal and likely expire if it stays in statue form for hours.

Like Azothath says, the spells will expire. They are not suspended or held in stasis like the companion. Permanent spells or spells with durations longer than a week will still be there. They don't end because of the spell (unless the spell says that), but after a week, almost all spells will have expired.

Most spells will not have any real effect on it, but they could likely be detected, dispelled, or dismissed. The fly spell would still be on the companion statue (for 1 min/level) and overland flight would still be on it (for up to 1 hr/level), but it's a statue and can't fly. If you had cast levitate on the companion and then turned it into a statue, then you could still levitate it (within 1 min/level), assuming it was within the 100 lbs/level weight liimit.

Spells don't expire because the nature of the target changes after they have been cast. The nature of the target matters only when the spell is cast.

Most spells will become meaningless while the target is an object, but if you transform the companion back to its normal form while the duration is active, they are still active.

The spell duration for all spells carries on normally, so they expire normally.
