Familiar Abilities:

Additional Familiars (ex)

You can have multiple familiars. Each time you pick this ability, you gain one additional familiar. All feats and class abilities applicable to your first familiar also applies to any later familiars. This ability can be chosen more than once.

Morphic Familiar (su)

Your familiar can assume the form of any other basic familiar, as polymorph, three times per day. Basic familiars are those allowed without recourse to special feats; including all those in the PH and in New Familiars.

Spirit Familiar (su)

The familiar can become invisible at will.

Ego Familiar (su)

Whenever you or your familiar is subject to a mind-affecting power, you may both make Will saving throws. Unless both saving throws fail, neither of you is affected. If both saving throws fail, the original target of the power is affected, which might be one or both of you.

Spellcasting

A pet mage continues training in magic as well as her new class abilities. Thus, when a new pet mage level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of controlling or rebuking undead, metamagic or item creation feats, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of pet mage to the level of some other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

If a character had more than one spellcasting class before she became a pet mage, she must decide to which class she adds each level of pet mage for purposes of determining spells per day when she adds the new level.
