Blood Familiar



Blood Familiars were animals that had been bound by a maho-tsukai to his will.

Creating a Blood Familiar
The maho ritual involved the replacement of blood in a minor creature, usually a rat, large insect, or bird, with the maho-tsukai's blood. It provided a permanent link between the sorcerer and beast, allowing them to channel their dark power through the creature. The familiars were used as scouts, spies, and even assassins.
