Well, on to more optimistic subjects for a while, just putting some thoughts regarding our familiar.
We don't know for sure if he's better than a generic wolf in terms of base line potential but here's the stat block for a generic wolf.
Actually kind of impressive, but it gets much better when you look at what animal turned familiar can gain. The following isn't a statblock it's an advance scheme which essentially deals with the potential increases a character or creature can gain over time.
So a few keynotes here, the magical bond gives a massive boost to potential intelligence and willpower of the creature effected, our wolf Familiar could hit levels of intelligence at the high end of what a human is capable of. In this system a Human starts with any where from 22-40 intelligence. Our wolf will be able to hit 54 assuming he's a generic base line wolf before taking into account familiar powers like link of psyche. That puts him in the range of trained academics and scholars. More importantly our wolf will be able to learn to speak at least in preastantia and read and write. Perhaps the most interesting thing though is how powerful their will becomes. A familiar like our wolf has the potential to have the same kind of willpower as a hardened wizard lord. Obviously many of the skills listed would require us to train our wolf or to pay for people to do the same as that's not innate. The talents on the other hand are.
Just thought it'd be interesting to discuss what we can look forward to with our familiar. On a mechanical level if we can choose another familiar power any time soon I'd suggest we get Link of Psyche. It provides a +10 boost to Intelligence and Will power of both them as long as both are awake.

catching up to the thread after I went to bed and had to go to work. The 40ish pages I had to dig through weren't nearly as salty as I was expecting.

So, our wolf is a non-combatant academic.Well, on to more optimistic subjects for a while, just putting some thoughts regarding our familiar.

Can we get him to write our papers?
Will we have to write his?

Possibly! He might end up more intelligent than us you know!
He can't hold a pen so we will need the dwarves to invent a typewriter for us.

Well, duh.
Common etiquette dictates that whoever actually writes the the thing gets to be the first author.
It's the only way to get anything written.
Edit: you laugh, but it is a real thing.

Does it have to be a paperweight? Mathilde has a bosspole now, so maybe we can put it there? Or better yet, get it mounted on a staff like Kragg and his Minotaur skull?

I just want to say I love this idea of having Wolf write our papers for us.
He'll get an author credit for sure. Not first author, because we'd still be doing the majority of the work, but very impressive for a wolf.
How do the Colleges handle such things? We're surely not the first person to think of this. There's got to be an accepted etiquette for this.
I would also love to see him as sole author on original research for something not strictly magic related if for no other reason than the look on some professor's face at U of Altdorf when they ask for a guest lecture and get a wolf.

Mathilde is like Anton: she is way more valuable in practice than she should be in theory. She is the quirky better-than-average option just before the good stuff, like actual battlewizards.

- being near locations is my passion.
Is there a telekenesis spell that can be added to an item that allows for the fidelity to move a pen? What are the limits of the range and force if this/these spell(s)
What are the "item slots" that are available for a wolf to use, or has that not been defined?

It's not a field that's seen much formal study, so it would require experimentation.

If Wolf foes get that smart we should teach him how to use a greatsword and get one custom made for him.

Get him a legal degree and a teaching position and he could be Dr. Professor Wolf Weber, Esq.

He'd be kinda shit at at. Ws 40 S 40 is not funny even at mid-level, and we are definitely way past it. The wolf/familiar scheme plainly sucks at combat once you leave early level.
