Why not make it a common sphere spell and allow Shamans access to it as well? It seems to me that it would not be a problem as the Common Sphere is the only common sphere between Magi, Mage, Entertainer, and Bard.
Entertainers have access to the Common, Symphonic, and Racial
Magi have access to the Common, Illusion, Racial, and Magus
Bards have access to the Common, Symphonic, and Illusion
Mages have access to the Common, Arcane, and Racial

Casting method: other
Defending method: none
Class restrictions: Bard, Entertainer, Mage, Magi – X2
DESCRIPTION:
By use of this spell a caster can create a basic type of natural animal that can look as they remember or have been shown specific images of. Dragons, spirettes, and other magical creatures or races cannot be created using this spell.
MECHANICS: This costs an immediate 5 stamina and 5 more if the caster at the appropriate level chooses to create another illusionary animal. The spell will last for a number of actions equal to the casting roll (close magic attack). The "summoned" creature can continue doing things even if it has left the sight of the caster, but will still disappear when the spell expires. Any attacks against the illusion will pass through harmlessly, because after all, it is an illusion. Once struck, the creature will vanish into nothingness. However, if you create your illusions to look like an exact copy of a creature (like someone's familiar), anyone looking at them can try to spot the differences. If the caster and illusions are in range when an Area of Effect spell is cast, the caster rolls their normal magical defense, while all illusions are dispelled immediately. As well, the illusionary animal may pass through solid objects within the Caster's line of sight.
When the Caster reaches x3 in their chosen main class, they may then choose to add sound to the creation and not just the image of it. And if the Caster has x5 in their chosen main class, may the caster create two of the illusion animals.
