Pochette

yeah we can make a familiar line that would do those things.  basic ranks familiar is just how badass the familiar is (and i'm sure you got a specific breed of spider incoming) but likely minimal, and that would include the telelink

share senses or remote casting would be separate skills building on the bond.

Also, I would love to have a spider familiar.  Having never had one in any system that I recall, how the heck do familiars work here?  I'm hoping for at least a telepathic link and the ability to see/hear/etc. through them?  Can I cast spells through one?

In my mind she is based on the form of an ironweed as shown in the photo but we'll have to use our imaginations until I can either figure out how to illustrate her or describe her appropriately.

I didn't want to be fae small either, this is perfect.
