Call Familiar

Call Familiar Mystic Proficiency [Personality]  300 hours   Requires: having a familiar, or at least knowing how to get one

With this spell, a mage may summon her familiar to her side. This ritual requires half an hour, so it is a little more involved than "Watson, come here, I need you." No dimensional gateways or teleportation is inherent to this spell, so the familiar must come on their own little feet. One simple message is sent telepathically. It could probably be as complex a missive as this paragraph, but we likely are talking about brains the size of a walnut here, and not a big walnut at that. Until the familiar can see, smell, or hear the mage, the spell compels it to seek out their pet wizard. Should one be warranted, a Willpower check can be made to overcome this compulsion, but it is unlikely that a familiar will _not_ want to find the person that provides food. Call Familiar provides a general idea of the mage's direction, but not distance. It is a bit like trying to find the source of a distant sound.
