## Shadow Familiar *Noctumancers developed this feat in order to gain a mystical companion.* **Prerequisite:** Shadowcaster level 3rd **Benefit:** You can obtain a familiar as if you had the arcane bond class feature, but it possesses the dark template. If you gain levels in wizard, your wizard and shadowcaster levels stack for determining your familiar's abilities. **Special:** If you gain access to an alternative familiar, such as through the [[Improved Familiar]] feat, it also gains the dark template.
