'''Familiar''' is a Utility [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 27, summoning a companion that fights for the caster.
<br><br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
Familiar assists in the killing, but does not distract monsters from their own attacks. Nothing is known about the spells the familiar will use, but it could be a valuable defensive tool as well as a damage dealer, if it casts skills like [[Frost Nova]].
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Familiar rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
