Bonding Requirements
You sense an initial eagerness quickly followed by disappointment from the glow, like it was expecting to find an emotional depth to you that isn't there.
It is likely that some amount of empathy is required for bonding this familiar, or possibly introspection or discipline.
Known Abilities
The humble apagion is a small glowing creature composed of pure dweomer. Although it is not physically powerful or tough, it is hard to hit, extremely resistant to mundane damage, and deals extropy damage in melee. It can fly very quickly and is intangible. It is ametabolic, and cannot eat or drink. It also emits light.
The apagion appears to be able to see only by paravision, and thus cannot obtain exploration experience while being carried.

A blast of chaos explodes from Aleph's body toward Tessit, but he dodges.
Attribute Modifications

- As of change 7589, this bond appears to grant no charms at all through the somewhat frail bond strength. Change 7589 specified that this bond lost access to "all but default" charms, so the bond may gain access to charms further in.

Additional Bonuses and Powers
Combat Maneuvers
- Combat maneuvers have not appeared through somewhat frail bond strength, so the content below appears to be outdated.
A combat maneuver called "Channel Magick" is unlocked towards the end of "very frail" bond strength. It is fueled by the extropy resource points that are charged by the Convert charm, granted at the same threshold, and fires a large bolt of magick damage, possibly mixed with some other type (probably extropic or photonic), at a single opponent in combat. It uses the Channeling skill as its core skill. It has a fairly low activity cost, is very accurate, has a low resource cost, and does moderate damage. It cannot be deflected, only dodged.
At "resilient" bond strength, a new attack maneuver, "Channel Luminescence" is added, which is fueled by Endurance. It appears to do a mixture of photonic and heat damage, has a fairly low activity cost, is moderately accurate, and does high damage to a small target area in the form of a beam. It uses recuperation as its core attack skill.
Traits granted
Close to the beginning of the bond, the consort gains the Regrowth trait, which improves with bond strength.
