The relationship betwixt you and your Soulspark Familiar is strong. Your spiritual strength imparts knowledge and durability to your companion.


Improved Soulspark Familiar [General]

Prerequisites: Meldshaper Level 5th, ability to shape Soulspark Familiar, ability to bind soulmelds to your crown chakra.

Benefit: When you form your Soulspark Familiar, it gains a natural armor adjustment and Intelligence of a Sorcerer's Familiar. Your Meldshaper Level is equal to the class level to figure out the natural armor adjustment and Intelligence of the Soulspark. It does not gain any of the special qualities a Familiar would.
Finally, your Soulspark Familiar takes the appearance of any animal you choose that is available to a Sorcerer as a Familiar. It appears as a normal animal but it has a shimmering blue haze surrounding it.

I kinda made this feat on a whim after reading thru Magic of Incarnum. I would not be surprised if it is unbalanced, although I cannot really imagine in what way.

Questions, comments, concerns, death threats?

I like the concept of the feat....I would change the requirements to Meldshaper 1st instead of 5th. Typically you put a level there that is evenly divisible by 3 so it corresponds to a level you would get a feat (Or to a level when the intended class gets a bonus feat like weapon specialization for fighters). I wouldn't change the appearance personally but you might add that the meldshaper may choose one animal from the sorcerer's list and he gains the special ability of that familiar when his soulspark is shaped. Once this is chosen it cannot be changed.

I would also add an addendum to "Share Soulmeld" to say it requires the ability to Share Spells or this feat you just wrote.
