Bonding Requirements

Some amount of the Tenacity skill seems to be all that is important. There may be other skills that qualify, but even very large amounts of Discipline still failed. Since the Verynvelyrae do not offer any specialty access to Tenacity, this may be difficult to obtain. Exactly how much tenacity is useful for this purpose is unknown at this time, but it is likely a moderate amount (30-40).

Known Abilities

You sense cold energies flowing from Nipper's body into your spirit.
