The entire college is forbidden. All except Sound Jet are forbidden. Bird familiars are the only creatures ever allowed to fly in combat. Each type of familiar is a separate advantage, which costs 20 Character Points. Only mages may have familiars, and each mage may have only one.
Mages can see through the eyes of their familiars.
If a familiar is wounded, the mage feels it. He doesn't take any damage, but he takes shock penalties and can be distracted exactly as if he were hit. High Pain Threshold and Low Pain Threshold apply normally. Whenever a gladiator begins his turn in a hex with an enemy familiar, all his attacks and defenses are at -1. If he attacks or defends while in a hex with an enemy familiar, the penalty is -2.
