You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: Rat, Wolf, Mastiff, Cat, Hawk, or Owl. The creature has the statistics provided in the respective books for the chosen form, though it is a celestial, a fey, or a fiend (your choice).
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically.
As an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, 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.
when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying and leaving behind no physical form. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension or you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.
You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature from the above list.
