Range 30 feet; Targets your familiar
Duration sustained up to 1 minute
Sometimes, you need more allies to best you foes. Your familiar divides, turning into two familiars. Then they divide again, becoming four, then eight, and so on until there are innumerable copies of your familiar bustling about, eager to join the fight. While in its swarm form, your familiar gains immunity to precision damage and to the grappled, prone, and restrained conditions; weakness 4 to area and splash damage; and resistance 4 to piercing and slashing damage. It occupies the space of a Large creature and can occupy the same space as other creatures. If your familiar is reduced to 0 Hit Points while under the effect of this spell, the spell immediately ends, and your familiar is instead reduced to 1 Hit Point. Once per turn, your familiar can use the Swarming Bites action.
Swarming Bites [one-action] Each creature in the familiar swarm’s space takes 3d6 damage of the appropriate type (basic Reflex save). Usually this is piercing damage, but depending on your familiar, it can be bludgeoning or slashing at the GM’s discretion.
Upon Casting this spell, you immediately Command your familiar. The first time each round you Sustain this spell on subsequent turns, you Command your familiar as part of the same action.
Heightened (+1) The damage of Swarming Bites increases by 1d6, and all resistances and weaknesses increase by 1.
