Spiritsworn

As simple familiars extensively taught to be more, the spiritsworn come in many different shapes and sizes depending on what kind of animal form they favored. In appearance, these people often have the body of a their masters mix with their favored form or may be fully embracing a more anthropomorphic figure. There have been no records or specialized of unique familiar animal forms such as sprites turning into spiritsworn.

The familiars of those on grand journeys or those tangled with conflict can quickly learn to be spiritsworn with or without a guiding hand. If a bond is strong enough, the death of a spirit's master can anchor the familiar on the plane until it gets over the death or becomes a new spiritsworn.
