For example, Cure Light Wounds (Brd 1, Clr1, Drd1,Healig1, Pal1,Rgr2)Druid casts Cure Light Wounds on himself. He can share it w/animal companion. Druid casts CLW from a scroll. He can share it. Druid casts CLW from a wand. He can share it. Druid drinks a CLW potion. He receives the spell's effect so can share it.Druid puts on a ring of CLW. He receives the spell's effect so can share it.Druid steps on a boon-trapped rug of CLW. He receives the effect so can share it. Cleric casts CLW on the Druid. Druid can share it bc he's the effect's target.Although the Druid cant normally cast Enlarge Person himself, there's no reason an accompanying Mage couldn't cast it upon him ... and upon receiving the effect, share it with his animal companion as clearly stated in RAW. Accordingly, the end result is the same should he UMD(wand) to cast it on himself and share it, or even purchase/wear a ring of enlarging. However your next concern is Enlarge Person has duration of 1 minute per caster's level (ie NOT instantaneous) so the animal companion immediately shrinks back to its normal size upon exceeding the Share Spells five foot limit unless you've taken one of the feats to extend that range.(note: technically the cleric cant cast the spell on the druid per RAW since he's not initiating the effect himself, however it seems reasonable since its the effect on the druid being shared not the source so allowed IMC - thus a mage could Enlarge the druid, who could share it with his animal companion via their link).</blockquote>
