Known Abilities
Pyxai are native to the plane of Exoma, and by themselves they are formidable predators. They have a breath attack that deals chaos damage, is extremely accurate, and does very high damage. They have the expected claw and bite attacks of a typical feline as well. They can breathe water and can run rather quickly, but cannot fly and do not have night vision.
You pet Felix with your right hand. You sense elemental energies flowing from Felix's body into your spirit.
This replenishes 1 spellpoint per action and provides a modest increase to elemental resistance skills.
