I have a series of questions about the Gift of the Familiar and the related emotion Bereft.
1. Will players who use Gift of the Familiar be able to gain a familiar in Y2?
2. Can players who, through some fortune, are able to use the Gift of the Familiar in order to get rid of Mr. Pebbles, avoid gaining the emotion Bereft in Y2?
3. If a player use the Gift of the Familiar to get rid of a familiar during Y2 and get no new familiar, would this impact the character's performance in Y2's Advanced Familiar Course?
4. What are the penalties of Bereft?
5. Is there a popular belief in-universe that only evil mages use the Gift of the Familiar when not dealing with extreme circumstances?
