Additional Abilities

Owl familiars open and charge the Sahasrara(willpower) chakra periodically and allow for various elemental energy powered attacks.

Attack                     Activity Cost

Wisp of Moonfire           11        
Gale of Shrieking Wind     16        
Stream of Elemental Water  17      
Stream of Elemental Air    17     
Jet of Stormwater          18      
Bolt of Elemental Earth    19      
Gout of Fire               19      
Blast of Earthfury         21      
Sheet of Moonloam          23      


Note from Ralnos: There seems to be three tiers of elemental attacks. The one shown here is a bottom tier attack, which means it takes only one type of elemental energy and very minimal amounts of it. The middle tier attacks take two types of energies, as far as I know, and take more significant amounts. (Stream of Elemental Water takes one water energy per use, Jet of Stormwater takes around 3 and some air energy as well.) The top tier attack (only one is known so far) hasn't been much tested yet.
Note from Castien: I`m not sure there is such a well defined pattern. Blast of Earthfury(earth+chaos) and Gale of Shrieking Wind(air+sonic) both seem to use one type of energy.

At "Fairly Healthy" bond strength, 1 bonus specialty and +1 maximum is granted in each of Aeromancy, Cthonimancy, Hydromancy, Pyromancy, Air Affinity, Earth Affinity, Fire Affinity and Water Affinity.

Traits Granted

Owl familiars grant Night vision and reduced Light sensitivity that increases based on bond strength.

Suspected Abilities

Misc. skill bonuses in centering, telesmatic weapon and others.

Ralnos comments: Twilight said that owls can summon twelve different spirits. We'll see soon what they are and what they're capable of. We already know of loamflages and two elemental spirits- water and air- so far. I suspect that we get actual elementals eventually and maybe another extraterrestial summon like the loamflage.

Annis comments: Twilight has also said that Owl eventually obtains the Cloud Cane charm, which enchants any staff or rod to grant wingless flight.
