Spell-Linked Familiar
( Player's Handbook II, p. 83)[General]
You and your familiar can share spell energy, allowing your familiar to cast a limited number of spells each day.
Prerequisite
arcane caster level 9, familiar,
Benefit
Your familiar can cast spells that you grant to it. A familiar gains spells based on your arcane caster level, and any spells granted to your familiar are subtracted from your daily allotment. The maximum number of spells of a certain level that you can grant to your familiar is given on the table below. For example, as a 16th-level arcane caster, you can grant your familiar as many as three 0-level spells, two 1st-level spells, and one 2nd-level spell. ------Spell Level ------. Caster Level - 0 --- 1st -- 2nd. 9th-11th ------ 1--- -- - --. 12th-14th ---- 2 --- 1 -- --. 15th-17th ---- 3 --- 2 --- 1. 18th-20th ---- 4 --- 3 --- 2. The familiar uses 1/2 your caster level as its caster level. It cannot cast spells that have a gp or XP cost, or that require a focus. A familiar does not need somatic, material, or verbal components to cast a spell that was granted to it by this feat.
