Known Abilities

The elicat is a handsome little feline creature, differing from a purely mundane cat in that it sports a pair of feathery wings, with which it can fly. Like all felines, it is a predator, attacking with claws and teeth with a ferocity that belies its small size. It breathes air and has high night vision.

Ajna Chakra

An elicat familiar automatically grants and charges the Ajna (purple) chakra, which grants bonuses to perception, various skill bonuses, and also grants the traits Astral Perception and Paravision.

Petting the familiar

You pet the white-winged orange tabby female elicat with your right hand.
You sense holy, life-giving energies flowing from a white-winged orange tabby female
elicat's body into your spirit.

This provides a temporary bonus to the skills entropy resistance, extropic affinity, holy fortitude, holy purity, and magick resistance. It also restores 1 spell point.

Attribute Modifications

The elicat grants its consort bonuses in dexterity, willpower, charisma and perception (?).

Specialty Bonuses

Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:

Tier 1

• First aid
• Theology

Tier 2

• Entropy Resistance
• Extropic Affinity
• Holy Purity
• Holy Fortitude
• Magick Resistance

Tier 3

• Find Weakness
• Forestry

Tier 4

• Albimancy
• Diplomacy
• Escape
• Flight

Tier 5

• Precision strike
• Stealth
• Killer Instinct

Tier 6

• Dodge

At "fairly healthy" (?) bond strength, the first tier bonus specialties are increased to 2.

At "resilient" bond strength, the third tier bonus specialties are increased to 2.

Italicised skills require a free willpower specialty point when the bond is first established, but with development of the bond, bonus specialties are granted and the assigned specialty points can be re-assigned elsewhere if desired. NB: It is likely that Holy Purity and Extropic Affinity both have a large impact on how quickly bond strength is improved, so it may be useful to specialize these skills even higher.

Charms

Elicats fly in flocks, and are social creatures; the elicat familiar is able to charm other elicats into following its consort. Initially on bonding:

• Urge
• Tame
• Command

Shortly after:

• Call
• Send

At "somewhat frail" bond strength:

• Starsee
• Kinsee

At "fairly healthy" bond strength:

• Mend
• Remove Curse

At "robust" bond strength:

• Convert spiritual energy to Extropic and Holy resource energy

Additional Bonuses and Powers

At "robust" bond strength, a new attack maneuver is added, called "Flare of Angelic Power". It is fueled by Extropic and Holy resource energy obtained via the Convert charm, and appears to do holy damage, probably mixed with some extropic. Note that the capacities of these resource points are governed by their related affinities and magickal skill; the Holy resource is governed by Albimancy and Holy Purity, and the Extropic resource is governed by Extropic Affinity and Vitamancy.

Traits granted

Bonding to an elicat familiar grants the consort a significant luck bonus, which increases with bond strength.
