The spells in this series alter the caster's familiar, granting certain special abilities. When the wizard is ready to cast one of these spells, the wizard and familiar must go into seclusion together for 72 hours, and stay within 10 foot of each other for this time or the spell fails. The material component of these spells is a gem-encrusted statuette of the familiar made of solid gold; this statuette costs 1000 gp per level of the spell, and is consumed in the casting. Once the spell is cast, both the caster and familiar must rest an additional 72 hours to recover from the strain inflicted by these magicks.

Once a particular version of Familiar Enhancer series is cast, the same spell can never again be memorized and cast by the wizard. If the spellcasting is interrupted, for whatever reason, the spell is ruined and may not be cast again. Only the power of a Wish may allow a wizard to re-use a particular Familiar Enhancer a second time. These spells must be cast in successive order; if any one is cast out of order, the last casted will not take effect, and cannot be rememorized by the caster.

Familiar Enhancer I Level 2

With the casting of the first Enhancer, the bond between familiar and caster grows stronger. The familiar's intellect rises into the low Int range of 4 +(1d3). The familiar can now think in the wizard's native tongue and communicate through the empathic link with words and simple sentences. The familiar develops a personality that seems almost human in character, possessing specific traits, likes, dislikes, opinions, habits, and such (DMG, pgs 114-5 could help the DM determine personality traits). The general animal qualities of the familiar's species are not lost, but often expanded upon as the familiar's personality matures. For example, a black cat familiar might grow into a sensualist with discriminating and expensive tastes for food and other comforts, while a crow might become a collector of gaudy gemstones with a short attention span for serious matters. The familiar also takes on the alignment view and attitude of it's wizard, but not to as strong a degree; a familiar will always retain a leaning towards the true neutral alignment of its animal origin.

Finally, the familiar gains one special power from Table I.

Familiar Enhancer II Level 3

The casting of this Enhancer causes the familiar's Int to rise to the average range of 7 +(1d3). The familiar can now learn to communicate in other languages with patient tutoring by it's wizard, up to the maximum number of languages allowed by its Int. The familiar gains one more special power, 80% chance to be from Table I, 20% from Table II.

Familiar Enhancer III Level 4

The familiar's Int rises yet again, improving to the very intelligent range of 10 +(1d2). The familiar can now be taught to read languages, allowing the familiar to learn outside of it's wizards tutoring. The familiar gains another special power; 60% for Table I, 40% from Table II.

Familiar Enhancer IV Level 5

From Familiar Enhancer IV to VIII, an intelligence gain is no longer automatic (but possibly gained as a special ability). Another special power is gained, 30% from Table I, 50% from Table II, 20% from Table III.

Familiar Enhancer V Level 6

20% chance for two from Table I, 20% for two from Table II, 40% from Table III, 20% from Table IV.

Familiar Enhancer VI Level 7

20% for two from Table II, 30% from Table III, 30% from Table IV, 20% from Table V.

Familiar Enhancer VII Level 8

30% from Table III, 40% from Table IV, 30% from Table V

Familiar Enhancer VIII Level 9

20% for two from Table III, 30% from Table IV, 50% from Table V.
