Familiar Failings

Stanton Raveel-Sharptooth is the scion of two different—powerful—noble families. His future as both a wizard of unrivaled potency and a werewolf of cunning the likes of which has never been seen before is practically a given. Walking the tightrope of obligations and intrigue to two major houses seems to come naturally to him, and as such both are exceptionally happy with his growth. As he starts his second year of magic academe, however, he runs into a situation that every young worker of the mystical arts must face: he has to form a bond with a familiar. Familiars shape the mage almost as much as they shape a mage's magic. From their simplest spell to their greatest, a familiar will be a lens for their power to effect their desire. So, Stanton attempts to summon the most powerful and memorable familiar of all time. What he gets is a cute little wolf that would be the perfect accompaniment for any magical girl on her quest to fight evil. There might also be a wand. This is a gender-bending story full of frills and incitement, with the theme of "anime logic/themes invading a high fantasy setting". Read at your own risk.
