Bonding Requirements
Some amount of both discipline and empathy seems to be required.
I needed about 120 skill points in Empathy, while needing about 80 in Discipline. Empathy is the main concern. - Cinna, 3:28 PM PST, 12-24-12
Failure Message
You sense a lack of regard from the white-feathered female swan, and dimly feel that she considers you to be insufficiently serious about kindness.

Additional Abilities
Swan familiars open and charge the Anahata chakra and Muladhara chakra periodically and provide several special sword attacks which utilize radiant energy, and one which is usable without swords.
Attack Activity Cost Crescent 8 (Based on your sword speed) Lux Veritas 14 Solar Coil 12 (Also based on your sword speed) Stellar Twist 12 (Again, based on sword speed)
The crescent attack is a photonic-based attack that adds light affinity , lumiturgy to its hit rating, also adds Telesmatic weapon and requires a normal-sized sword to use.
Lux Veritas channels the light of truth through your sword strike (Seems to have combined ray of intense light and shaft of true sunlight)
Stellar Twist and Solar Coil are similar to crescent and use Light affinity, Lumiturgy, Telesmatic weapon and more. And are gained at near complete bond. Stellar Twist may only be used at night and Solar Coil during the day.
Traits Granted
Appears to grant Ambidexterity. Around 1/3 way in resilient bond, diet changes to photovore.
