tremorsenseThe ways of wizards are strange and mysterious, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the arcane predilection for animating random pieces of candy and using them as familiars. The Winter Witches of Irrisen are known for weaving sparrows or nightingales from gingerbread, while in Arcadia, sorcerers mold mice from spiced chocolate. Most famous, however, are the hard candy beetles of Nex, though a few radical scholars claim that they are in fact a demi-natural species, a product of the Mana Wastes' wild magic. Most mages dismiss such wild claims, however.
Source Wake the Dead #3 pg. 25During your daily preparations, your sweetened familiar conducts an unusual little ritual. Your familiar find a small non-magical object (a flower or piece of fallen fruit by preference, but a pebble or even a coin will do in a pinch) and then does a curious ritual dance around—gingerbread sparrows hop and chirp, while hard candy beetles turndle in increasingly complex geometric patterns and chocolate mice make arcane sigils with their paws. At the rite's conclusion, the object turns into a piece of candy, usually of the same sort as the familiar. The candy is an item with the

consumable and
transmutation traits. Anyone who eats the candy as an

Performance checks for 1 hour (this increases to +2 at level 9, and +3 at level 17). The candy maintains its enchantment until your next daily preparations.
