A Third of the Equation Fetch?

2
The power to summon a minion which can fight and act on your behalf.
Used by Sycamore Crane, Created by lumiq.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious that you are creating a minion in some way. )

"Hey, hey THORN? Little help here please?!"

Thorn is by all means a normal looking crow, stubborn, insistent, and generally giving the impression that he's here because he wants to be. He is almost completely vocally silent and sticks to Sycamore for reasons they can't quite figure out yet, humoring their trust building exercises and now offering aid when he knows they need it.

Thorn was found at the same time as the first body Sycamore discovered. He seems to fill the role of familiar; Syc knew his name as soon as he addressed him, and always did, instinctively. Thorn has been in the shadows since Syc was 10.
