Well sure, if you want me to fill two important spots I have nothing against it.

@Iatos How lenient will you be on "retraining"? Like on a per level basis, between plot points, or simply add a feature any time a slot's empty?
@Iatos People would most definitely not kneel down and pray. If they didn't in the cafeteria for a dragon, they wouldn't do it for an oversized chicken.
Most mages know that most familiars and such are actually just mythical beasts, and not actual gods.
So, yeah, I don't see them running away for refuge (unless they are weak) or praying. Please change that.
