2nd Level

Familiar Spells

Starting at 2nd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Familiar Spells table. These spells count as witch spells for you, but they don't count against the number of witch spells you prepare.

Familiar Spells

Wild Whisperer

At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the animal handling skill if you don't already have it.

In addition, you can use Intelligence in place of Charisma when making an animal handling check.

Witch's Familiar

At 2nd level, you can cast the find familiar spell without providing material components. When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar, or you can choose the Witch's Familiar stat block. If you use this stat block, you choose an archetype; aide, scout or warrior. The chosen archetype determines certain traits in its stat block. The stat block also uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

Additionally, you can use an action or bonus action to command the familiar to use its reaction to make one attack of its own.

6th Level

Magic attacks for familiar?
Speak through familiar
Allow familiar to cast spells (beyond just touch spells)
Allow familiar to concentrate on spells? (effectively granting 2 concentration spells)

Delegate Concentration

Starting at 6th level, if you are within 30ft of your Witch's Familiar and you cast a witch cantrip or spell of 3rd-level or lower that requires concentration and does not have a range of self, you can have your familiar concentrate on the spell rather than you. You maintain control of the spell and can command the familiar to end concentration at any point (no action required). The spell ends early if the familiar is ever more than 30 feet from you, if you dismiss it, or the familiar's concentration is broken.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses each time you finish a long rest.

Spirit of Concentration (ALT)

Starting at 6th level, you gain an additional spirit feature to use with your Invoke Spirits feature:

Spirit of Concentration. When you cast a witch spell or cantrip that requires concentration an your Witch's Familiar is within 30 feet of you, you can expend 2 spirits to have the familiar concentrate on the spell rather than you. You maintain control of the spell and can command the familiar to end concentration at any point (no action required). The spell ends early if the familiar is ever more than 30 feet from you, if you dismiss it, or the familiar's concentration is broken.
