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.

Commands

Familiars are controlled using the TELL verb.

TELL FAMILIAR Description
LOOK [player, object, creature] look through the familiar's eyes
READ familiar will read an object in the room it is in
ANCHOR allows the mage to TELL FAMILIAR TO GO ANCHOR, and the familiar will return to that room (50 Water Lore ranks)

Lore Benefits

Elemental Lore, Air

Every 100 skill bonus of Elemental Lore, Air will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill. Familiars use a "round system" for travel and finding people. A round fluctuates depending on the calculated distance. The lore benefit reduces those rounds.

Elemental Lore, Air ranks 24 100
Approximate % time reduction 25% 50%

Not all thresholds shown, only those provided in release post. Benefit is hard to quantify.

Elemental Lore, Water

50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to set an anchor to the naturally occurring earthnode of a caster's choice. Setting an anchor will allow the mage to TELL FAMILIAR TO GO ANCHOR, and the familiar will return to that room. The controlling mage can set the anchor room remotely through the familiar using TELL FAMILIAR ANCHOR. The anchor is a setting specific to the mage and does not need to be reset when a new familiar is cast. Each mage has one anchor setting.

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.
