A Familiar is a creature born of magic, which always takes the same form as long as it is summoned by the same person. Its form is unique to the caster and can vary from something as big as a Moblin to something as small as a cat. Regardless of the Familiar’s form, it is only half-solid and normally phases through walls and people. It is incapable of flying above thrice the caster's height, and cannot physically damage other beings or objects. It can travel several miles away from its master, and is dispelled if it either goes further, or is struck by a physical attack. Its master can also dispel it at will. At any time after the Familiar is dispelled, the caster can manifest it again within an arm's reach.

The primary use of a Familiar is as an extension of its master’s senses. The caster can choose at any given moment to temporarily substitute his or her hearing, sight, smell, touch or any combination of the four for that of the Familiar. Additionally, the Familiar stores everything it perceives in its memory, which can be accessed by the caster through touching it. This memory is erased once it is dispelled. Another use is for long-distance communication; the caster can speak through his or her Familiar. A Familiar can be given a directive upon being created, and while the caster can revoke this direction or steer his or her Familiar from a distance, if left alone it will follow this directive.

Any one character can only have one Familiar at a time. Should the caster desire to re-shape their Familiar, this treasure must be obtained again, at half its normal price, to replace the previous instance of the treasure.
