Known Abilities

Svadhisthana Chakra

Being bonded to a cat will grant and automatically charge the Svadhisthana (orange) chakra, which provides a large bonus to dexterity, numerous skills, and will grant the Paraneurism trait when fully charged.

Petting the familiar

You pet Zen with your right hand.
You sense an array of protective energies flowing from Zen's body into your spirit.

This provides a temporary bonus to the skills Chaos Resistance, Entropy Resistance, Extropy Resistance, Holy Fortitude, Magick Resistance, Order Resistance, and Unholy Fortitude. It also restores one spell point.
