You acquire a spirit bound into the form of an animal, which is called a familiar. You performed a ritual to gain this creature, during which time you burned incense, rare herbs, and a few drops of your blood. As a shadowy figure of monstrous aspect formed, you bargained with it, offering promises that bound you to it and compelled its service. When you finished, the shadow became a tiny animal you held in your hands.

Familiar (Magical): You acquire the service of a familiar by binding a spirit to a harmless animal such as a cat, bird, toad, or something similar.

The familiar ignores all harm and can do no harm. Your familiar grants you 1 boon on attribute rolls and luck rolls and imposes 1 bane on rolls to attack you and rolls made against you.

Mystic Reserves (Magical): Your familiar gathers magical energy and stores it for your use. The familiar holds a number of charges equal to half your level. You can expend 1 charge from your familiar to cast a novice spell or 2 charges to cast an expert spell. The spell must be one you have learned or have access to as an inscription. The familiar regains all expended charges after you rest.

Dread Familiar (Magical): You can use this talent when you use an action. Your familiar transforms into a dreadful, hateful thing called a bogun, ceasing to be your familiar. It remains in that form for 1 minute, but the effect ends early if it becomes incapacitated, at which point your familiar returns to you 1 hour later. Once you use this talent, you lose access to it for 1 hour.
