A Familiar is a special type of associate for several of the arcane spell casters:

• Hexblade
• Sorcerer (including Shadow Mage)
• Wizard (including Spellsword, Wild Mage, Shadow Mage)

Familiars gain levels as their master gains sorcerer or wizard levels and are not unsummoned upon resting.

Useful Notes

• Characters don't gain any EXP while possessing familiars.
• Characters' state is still altered while familiar is possessed. The mage may die from hunger or thirst.
• Familiars don't have inventory. They can not carry items, including keys. They can not open door locked by a specific key or storage chests.
