Band of Bind Familiar

This band must be worn by you and your chosen familiar, and the Bind Familiar ritual must be performed. After which, you gain the service of the bound creature. The familiar retains the statistics of the chosen creature.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands the best of its abilities. Your familiar cannot take part in combat. When initiative is rolled for combat, the familiar takes this as an order to retreat to a safe distance until the danger has been dealt with.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it as if you were casting the Speak With Animals spell. Additionally, once per day as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears for up to 1 hour, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

Once attuned to the band, it cannot be taken off unwillingly. As an action, you can dismiss your familiar forever by removing the band. You can't have more than one familiar at a time. 

Binding Ritual

The Ritual must be carried out by an NPC who knows the spell. The player and the creature each must remain within linked 10ft diameter ritual circles for the duration of the ritual (1 hour) while wearing the band. Between the ritual circle, a fire must be lit with (10gp worth of) charcoal, incense, and herbs. The NPC casting the spell must chant the binding words:

"Ut unum, bestias ad bestias, corpus et mentem ligant."

Once the ritual has been completed, if successful, the player should immediately begin sensing their connection to the familiar.

Note: Should the band be removed, it will lose its function, and cannot be reused., To attune to this item, the Bind Familiar Ritual must be carried out, connecting the two creatures wearing the Binding Band.
