Bonding Requirements
Running is required, as is fairly obvious from the bond failure message, certainly at more than 77 skill and less than 120:
You sense that the black-spotted yellow female cheetah feels as though you could not keep pace with her, much less form a bond with her.
Known Abilities
The cheetah is a large and powerful feline predator native to the plains of Ebiria. It is a ferocious combatant, attacking with claws and teeth. It is large enough to ride, breathes air, eats meat, and can see in the dark. It runs very quickly, as one would expect.
Combat Bonuses
The cheetah's consort gains a bonus to attack rating equal to hir Air Affinity skill. This is applied to all melee attacks and maneuvers, and special attacks granted by the familiar. Your familiar must be present in your environment to obtain this effect.
The cheetah also grants bonuses to dodge rating and deflection ratings equal to the consort's Air Affinity skill.
Petting the familiar
You pet Kenya with your right hand. You sense dynamic energies flowing from Kenya's body into your spirit.
This provides a temporary boost to the skills Air Affinity, Earth Resistance, Void Resistance, Crushing Resistance, Cutting Resistance, Piercing Resistance, and Running. It also restores one spell point.
Vishuddha Chakra
Being bonded to a cheetah will grant and automatically charge the Vishuddha (blue) chakra, which grants a large bonus to Intellect and numerous skills.
Attribute Modifications
Bonding the cheetah provides its consort a very large bonus to Agility, a large bonus to Strength, and moderate bonuses to Willpower, Vitality, and Perception. Additionally, the Vishuddha chakra that the familiar grants will provide a large bonus to Intellect.

Charms
Initially the cheetah grants the following charm:
Shortly after:
Early in "fairly healthy" bond strength:
- Convert spiritual energy into electrical resource energy
At "resilient" bond strength:
Additional Bonuses and Powers
Combat Maneuvers
Early in "fairly healthy" bond strength, the cheetah's consort acquires a new combat maneuver, "Spark of Sky-Lightning". This attack is fueled by electrical resource energy gathered by the convert charm granted at the same tier. This attack is very accurate, has a low activity cost, consumes very little resource energy, does moderate electrical damage to a small area (apparently like a thrown knife), and often stuns the target. It can be fired with the 'perform special attack' command.
Traits granted
In the early stages of the bond, the cheetah grants its consort the astral perception trait, which grows with bond strength.
The cheetah (like most feline familiars) also grants a point of the luck trait at "fairly healthy" bond strength, which will increase as the bond grows.
Bonding the cheetah appears to provide a direct bonus to the speed characteristic, although no quickness access is provided.
- I was unable to duplicate this on either a VV or Fey bond, so would not count on it at before "Fairly Healthy" if at all.
- I increased my vitality by 4 and with no other changes my speed went from 43 to 45.
- This was probably removed when the bond was nerfed (i.e. Vitality was removed as a factor). Can't be 100% sure though.
