I'm curious about familiars in Realm of Magic. Are they actually needed or are they just a useless vanity thing? I'm only asking cause I don't really like the ones that come in the orbs they fly around and seem super annoying but it also seems a bit weird to give every spell caster a cat.

They also seem to help when studying magic and with keeping charge manageable. Both are passive effects, so I'm just going based on observation.
Cat and dog familiars can also go scavenge for spell ingredients, brooms, or wands.
The orb ones don't do much, true, but some of their quips when you brew a potion or learn a new spell can be cute/funny. And they seem to have different personalities, and not necessarily based on what type of familiar they are.
Resources are just not needed for the spellcaster, you get a potion as soon as you discover them and with a nice shelf system you plop all potions on there and then just cast the copy paste spell directly on that potion on the shelf and you'll get a new potion to use immediately without having to clutter up the already hopelessly cluttered inventory any more. No need to brew at all. Granted you can avoid the spell and play more normal and then of course resources come in handy, but the spell is always there to tempt you, stay strong
That spell is horrible for gameplay, in my opinion.
