The summoned object's original location leaves a lingering field of magic that can be detected.
1 - Conjure Mirror - Conjuration, Arcane
Causes a flat plane of space in front of the caster to reflect all rays and gaze spells for 2 rounds + 1 per caster level. This mirror follows the caster around and can be oriented.
1 - Find Familiar* - Conjuration, Arcane
Once per year, a caster may attempt a ritual to call a familiar. A familiar is an immortal magical entity that takes the shape of a critter familiar (hence the term) to the caster and appropriate to the climate the ritual is performed in. A familiar can communicate telepathically and in any of the languages known to its master. It can hold an intelligent conversation, fetch small things and serve as a scout or messenger.
Familiars are limited by their physical form. They cannot deal damage in combat, but are endowed with 10 health points per spell slot that, if depleted, force them to phase out until the ritual is cast again. Familiars also gain the general instincts of the critters they embody- cats and ferrets are easily distracted by vermin for example. Though familiars enter service fervently loyal to their master, they remember mistreatment, neglect and unreasonable demands. Gods and divine beings are fond of familiars and are more willing than usual to avenge them.
The summoning ritual for a familiar consists of lighting 1,000 gold coins worth of herbs and incense in a bronze brazier and maintaining focus for twelve hours.
