The Call Familiar spell enables a Wizard to summon an animal to his or her side as a companion. Cast unaided, the spell calls out to the nearest appropriate animal in the region, resulting in an arbitrary familiar. The duration of the effect may be refreshed in order to retain a particular familiar over an extended period of time.

Binding Rune

A wizard may choose to consistently call the same type of familiar by use the binding rune. Once the wizard has found a fellow wizard to teach him this rune, he must create the binding rune using a brush, ink and blank runestone, all available in the local alchemist shops.

Once the wizard has a binding runestone, he must purchase a familiar talisman from the local Wizard Guild shop.

  • WAVE the binding runestone at the familiar talisman in order to prepare it
  • WAVE the prepared familiar talisman at the familiar of choice.
  • Seal the familiar talisman by casting the Call Familiar spell at it.
  • To summon the familiar, cast Call Familiar at the familiar talisman. Each familiar talisman has 20 charges.

Using the GAZE verb to look at a talisman will reveal the familiar the talisman summons.

>gaze my talisman
As your eyes traverse across the grain of an faewood weasel talisman, the misty image of a ragged-eared mangy-furred weasel fills your vision before slowly fading away.
