"Oh?" Berger was amused. "A spirit familiar, eh?"
A familiar was a creature of magic that formed a bond with the Magus. The bond they shared was very special.
After the bond was formed between the Magus and the familiar, the Magus would be able to use some of the innate abilities of the familiar. Similarly, the familiar would also be able to use spells that the Magus knew!
In some ways, it could be said that the Magus and the familiar shared a common existence.
There were two types of familiars that a magus could contract. The first type was the creatures that could be found in the material world. And the second type was creatures such as Blackie.
These were called spirit familiars, for they weren't creatures of the material world, but the Spirit World!
Ever since Adam learned that Blackie was a spirit familiar, he'd been wanting to have one for himself as well. There was no particular reason behind this decision. He just found it very cool.
