Level 1: Difference between revisions

| Range: 10ft || Duration: Instant || Components: VSM (10GP worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier) || Arcane

You gain the service of a Familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog, hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish, rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within Range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Fey or Highling (your choice) instead of a Beast.<br>

Your Familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own Initiative and acts on its own turn. A Familiar can't attack, but it can take other Actions as normal.<br>

When the Familiar drops to 0 Hit Points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this Spell again. As an Action, you can temporarily dismiss the Familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an Action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30ft of you. Whenever the Familiar drops to 0 Hit Points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.<br>

While your Familiar is within 100ft of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an Action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are [[Conditions#Deafened|Deaf]] and [[Conditions#Blinded|Blind]] with regard to your own senses.<br>

You can't have more than one Familiar at a time. If you cast this Spell while you already have a Familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your Familiar transforms into the chosen creature.<br>

Finally, you can cast your Spells from your Familiar's space if it is within 100ft of you and it uses its Reaction to do so.<br>

'''At Higher Levels.''' When you cast this Spell using a Spell Slot of 2nd Level or higher, the Familiar you summon increases its Speed by 10ft, the Range which you can communicate with it telepathically, see through its senses, and cast Spells from its space increases by 50ft, and it has 10 additional Maximum Hit Points for each Slot Level above 1st.
