## Spell-Linked Familiar *You and your familiar can share spell energy, allowing your familiar to cast a limited number of spells each day.* **Prerequisite:** Arcane caster level 9th, 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. | Caster Level | 0 | 1st | 2nd | | ------------ | --- | --- | --- | | 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 costly material component, 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.
