Great familiar use spells.

[Amenhotep]

I am trying to figure out the best use of a familiar.

For about a day I was under the impression that you could cast magic jar through your familiar due to share spell. But then you read the description of magic jar and the target is "one person" even though one clearly is not casting magic jar on a person. It sounds like one casts the spell, put's one's soul in the jar AND then targets an individual. Either tricky writers were a step ahead of me, there is a mistake, or the spell is uniquely complex and I just ain't seeing how the familiar could be the soul in the jar.

Anyhow... What are good spells to use with one's familiar?

Dazing Burning Gaze. Cast it before battle and your familiar can sit on your shoulder and take pot shots with a 2 round daze potential each round while you go about your normal caster business. Combine with invisibility and spider climb and pretend you're the predator with a shoulder cannon.

Ill Omen out of a Wand. Great setup for all SoS spells.
