These are custom items aren't they? In which case, is the method of their usage common knowledge among all casters, or do I have to FOIG from another player's mage or cleric?

I'm asking because I don't know what they do, if they're all used up in a ritual, or even how to *do* the rituals, and yet I'd assume at least my Wizard certainly would due to summoning his familiar. He meant to summon up a Faerie Dragon but a server error/interplanar balls-up landed him with an Imp.

Summoning focii and themes won't mess with your familiar, so you probably just picked the wrong one at creation. But their use is pretty simple, and should be fun to experiment with in-game.

Forget about the familar, that's me not realising you'd updated the familiar list but not the choice screens. I assumed it wasn't implemented yet when I saw a Faerie Dragon available, so I got rather confused when the Ooze mephit turned up.

Cheers for the quick responses to both my questions btw.
