Familiars and Homunculi
Given that it's right in the Erra Pater that mages have familiars, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how this could be expanded? There's already the shadow spell... how about one that creates VNPCs for you? Even persistent ones at higher levels? Or allows you to take over animals for a time?
I assumed they already did. If not, I think it'd be an interesting addition. Maybe let the mages transfer their consciousness into their familiar, with small animals (rats, birds) being easier for low ranks, then moving up to bigger animals (cats, dogs) and finally into things like bears (badass? I think so.)
I like this, but there are two concerns I have.
One, it'll add to the NPC follower spam we already have if every mage runs around with pets...
Two, it may just out mages easier if they forget to leave their weirder pets at home, or if pets fall out of fashion again.
The first one bothers me more, honestly, but I like this idea more than I dislike it.
If you want stuff like bears, though, the spell should risk backfiring and having it bite your head off. And I very much think it should be limited by the things listed in the Erra Pater. Deformities, certain animals, etc.
