📋 About This Mod
This mod, and a collection of Aether's other mods are currently being maintained by Magnetuning (hi) and Aimryax! You can find a list of mods we're maintaining, and their Patch 8 update status here.

DESCRIPTION
Summon the best boy's best friend!
Adds a new Find Familiar spell to the game, so you can summon the Owlbear Cub alongside Scratch.
Unfortunately, you can only have one familiar at a time per character. So if you'd like to have both Scratch and the Owlbear Cub at
the same time, your main character will have to summon Scratch, and a companion will have to summon the cub.
