If anyone is familiar with the Mistborn series and TenSoon, please weigh in. I’m playing a wild magic sorcerer, and my DM is willing to work with a homebrew Familiar for me cause I want one so bad. I am trying to create a familiar based on TenSoon in his hound form, but able to change shapes with time and a body.

Anyone not familiar, For a Kandra to change shape, it must have a dead body. The fresher the better. The Kandra discards the bones of its old form, and “eats” the new body. Using the corpse, the Kandra can recreate the anyone it has the skill to .. it cannot create from nothing. The dead body is both the blueprint and the fuel for the copy transformation. The Kandra doesn’t have to copy the body it just ate, it simply has to have enough flesh to mold into its desired shape. If it is mortally wounded but not dead it can eat corpses and recover. If it’s body is completely destroyed, it becomes a Gelatinous mass that needs flesh in order to recreate a body. It can create any body it is able, provided enough flesh. VERY skilled Kandra have been able to do things such as “Eat” a horse and large wild pig corpse in one sitting. They then made a bigger faster stronger horse using the blueprint of the horse and the extra fuel from the pig.

Does anyone have any insight or ideas on how to really flesh this out and make it workable?
