Owing to the mage’s (or perhaps his mentor’s) facility with the Spirit Arcanum, or perhaps some especially difficult vision quest the mage completed in the Realms Invisible, the Shaman’s familiar is more powerful than most beginning familiars. This may be just the advantage a mage needs to survive the difficult early days after his Awakening.

This Merit provides the mage with 15 extra “experience points” that he can use only to upgrade his familiar. This Merit may be purchased multiple times, but may only be purchased at character creation. After that, the mage must raise his familiar’s stats by spending experience points accrued during play.
