Paper animals are a standard practice among even initiate origami artists, but none can make them the way Bryan can. After imbuement, art prodigy has learned that he can turn them into animated familiars through focusing enough of his mind and self through them. Information the familiars survey is supernaturally printed on their paper, which Bryan can then view and erase once they're in eyesight.
