Summon Familiar

Casting information#

Effects and formulas#

• Opens a familiar-selection menu. Required Necromancy / Spirit Speak: Horde Minion 30/30, Shadow Wisp 50/50, Dark Wolf 60/60, Death Adder 80/80, Vampire Bat 100/100.
• Only one familiar may be active per caster. The selected familiar inherits the caster’s base Resisting Spells and is summoned for up to one day, subject to its own behavior and the summon system.
• Each familiar uses 1 follower slot. Horde Minion carries items and picks up up to three nearby movable stackable items within 2 tiles per pickup cycle, followed by a roughly 5–10 second cooldown after a successful pickup.
• Shadow Wisp flares every 5–30 seconds, restoring 1 − integer(Karma / 1000) mana to eligible friendly living players with Karma ≤0 within 5 tiles. Dark Wolf restores 1 stamina to its master every 2 seconds and bypasses minimum-skill and final taming-success checks for dire, grey, timber and white wolves.
• Death Adder lets its master charm eligible snakes into attacking a selected target. Vampire Bat attacks restore its master’s hits by the weapon damage value when both are on the same map.
• Familiars cannot be commanded with ordinary pet commands; they follow their special AI. They are bard-immune and poison-immune, and are deleted on world deserialization rather than persisting across a restart.

Notes#

• Magery–Necromancy school conflict can reduce the effects identified as school-scaled. Listed mana and cast delay are base values; equipment and casting rules modify actual costs and timing.
