A Familiar is a special type of associate for several of the arcane spell casters:
- Hexblade
- Sorcerer (including Shadow Mage)
- Wizard (including Shadow Mage, Spellsword, Wild 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.
