You and your familiar can share spell energy, allowing your familiar no cast a limited number of spells each day.
Prerequisite: Arcane caster level 9th, familiar.
Benefit: Your familiar can cast spells that you grant to it. A familiar gains spells based on your arcane caster level, and any spells granted to your familiar are subtracted from your daily allotment. The maximum number of spells of a certain level that you can grant to your familiar is given on the table below. For example, as a 16th-level arcane caster, you can grant your familiar as many as three 0-level spells, two 1st-level spells, and one 2nd-level spell.
| Spell Level | |||
| CL | 0 | 1st | 2nd |
| 9th-11th | 1 | - | - |
| 12th-14th | 2 | 1 | - |
| 15th-17th | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 18th-20th | 4 | 3 | 2 |
The familiar uses 1/2 your caster level as its caster level. It cannot cast spells that have a gp or XP cost, or that require a focus. A familiar does not need somatic, material, or verbal components to cast a spell that was granted to it by this feat.
