OW173 briefly references familiars- enough to show they exist, but not enough to define them on ANY useful level.
They came up in a recent session (the one I'm playing in, not running), and I'm wondering what they are.
In particular- my character (evocator on par with any wizard, but no thaumaturgy- works for Monoc, which I'm treating as the supernatural Blackwater) has a little sister who, it turns out, also has the gift. Unfortunately, I found out when I found out that she'd bound someone else (human, may or may not be true mortal, another player) to her as a familiar.
2 laws for the price of one! Yay! (2nd and 4th, I think- since she definitely called him against his will to her side, and I'm pretty sure he's been physically altered beyond normal human). He was built as a True Mortal, but with enough Refresh to spare to afford losing them- and gave the GM permission to do so.
Here's the thing- I took one look at the spell with my Sight, and knew the spell immediately (got a +8 on my Lore check for it)... and we both need to look into it.
Ideas (both for the normal kind of spell, and for the human-variant)?
