Ovicaptor

Minor Rune: Ovicaptor

Major Rune: Vortex

3x3 Rune that can be built early on. Uses a gravity effect to pull mobs towards the rune and then turns them into spawn eggs when they touch the rune. Tier determines the size of the pull and how many eggs can be created before the rune consumes itself.

Animals will be turned into spawn eggs. Monsters will be pulled by the Ovicaptor, but not turned into eggs (no griefing). There is a chance that they get reduced health sitting on the Ovicaptor.

Design Notes
Collecting animals for your farm in the early days of Minecraft is pretty aggravating given the unreliable effect of wheat. This is designed to allow people to get their Farm up quicker and to make it easy to gift animals to other people when they join the server.

The possibility of Hostile spawn eggs needs consideration. In particular, we need to prevent new players from simply collecting Creeper eggs and griefing the country side. Monster eggs would match very well with Phase Field events in dungeons to introduce a fight scene.
