Pasta Thralls

Pasta Thralls are creatures summoned by Pastamancer binding skills. Once summoned, the thrall acts like a second familiar with unique abilities. The thrall's image, name and level are displayed in the left pane, above the list of effects.

To call upon a summon, the Pastamancer must use one of the eight "Binding" non-combat skills. Only one thrall at a time can accompany a Pastamancer; using a different binding skill will replace the current thrall with the new one. You can cast Dismiss Pasta Thrall if for some reason you don't want an active Pasta Thrall. Attempting to summon a Thrall as any class other than Pastamancer will instead give 10 turns of an effect associated with the Thrall. You can only have one of these effects at a time.

All of the binding skills are learned in The League of Chef-Magi except Bind Spaghetti Elemental, which is learned from the decoded cult documents in the Pastamancer Nemesis quest.

Level

Pasta thralls level up by gaining experience from combats (in which you are victorious.) One point of experience is gained from each combat won. Familiar experience modifiers have no effect.

Thrall experience level is capped at 10. Each thrall gains a new ability at level 5 and level 10. Thralls maintain their individual experience levels after being replaced and re-summoned. Ascension resets all levels.

When a thrall levels up:
