Warders and Familiars have a life span, read below to find out more about it.

But the warder can only hold a physical form for a limited time, and thus must return to the spirit world after a time, where he is quickly renewed. /ooc: Basically, permanent 'buff' effects tend to corrupt character files, so warders couldn't be truly permanent. They last 10 real life hours. Alan AND.... Resnic wrote: So I assume the same thing goes for wizard fammiliars right?
