Supernaturally Spooky Animal Companion


Advice


Hello all!
I'm in a long running Reign of Winter game where I play a Witch who:

Book 1 Spoiler

Spoiler:

Wishes to be a rider of Baba Yaga.

I've just been able to Craft myself an Ivory Goat Wondrous Power Figurine and have just taken the Companion Figurine feat to turn the White Terror Goat (now reflavoured as a pale horse) as an Animal Companion. We're nearing the end of Book 3 now and in future I wish to ride into battle heralding my Patron, and have the feats set up for the Witch already (who's going into the Fey Sworn from Realms of the Fey, with a custom Obedience created by the GM).

The question is though, what cool supernatural feats can I take on my Animal Companion? I really want to avoid stuff like Power Attack (mostly) and play up the supernatural aspect of the mount.

Currently have:
HD1: Iron Will
HD3: Narrow Frame or Improved Natural Attack (For the Horns, as one is treated as a Longsword, the other a Lance, upgrading to 3d6 which isn't bad)
Ability Point Increase Into Intelligence (which allows me to take any feat)
HD5: Ability Focus (Terror Aura)

Does anyone have any fun ideas though? I was looking at the Psychic casting feats and Blood Hexes but they require far too much Int, and Eldritch Heritage requires far too much Charisma (and technically the AnC has no character levels).

Minor Miracle and Believer's Boon could work (as the Horse has 15 Wisdom), even the Pantheistic Blessing (Fae Lords) for a once per day Silent Image.

So what ideas do you have for my Magical Horse? Any help would be appreciated!

Also I totally have Nightmare Horseshoes on the ready and I know its only twice every two weeks but I'm not too worried truth be told.


How about Improved Spell Sharing?


The horns are explicitly wielded by the rider, not natural weapons which the goat/horse can use. INA won't work I think.

Scrutinize Spell might look or even be magical, likewise Hellcat Stealth or the Bonded Mind teamwork feat. Psychic Sensitivity definitely is magical, though your companion may not be good enough at skills to make full use of it.

Ah misread the Horns. Thats a bit of a let down then.

I really like Scrutinize Spell.

I'm super tight on feats so while Bonded Mind and Improved Spell Sharing are cool, I can't really afford it for the rider.
