I posted this under GemStoneIV > Wizards > Familiars
Just thought I'd put it here as well and see if I didn't get some different input to my idea:

Why couldn't we get the syntax of prep 920 summon (adj like black, white, furry, pick from a set list via callfam help) (type like hawk, grifflet, chicken mcnugget, etc, again from a set list via callfam help)
So basically I would
prep 920
summon crispy mcnug
You gesture and a crispy chicken mcnugget rolls into the room.
Of course certain creatures only avalible in certain areas but I think instead of just picking a random one for you the game would send back a message saying you try to link with a blah blah but you don't find any in this area. This would allow you to pick another familiar without wasting your mana or getting that stupid white cat to show up.
I think before you'd be able to start picking the adj of the familiar you'd need at least 50 wizard spell ranks and to pick the actuall familiar itself would require 40 wizard spell ranks(that's 1x for a great lord and I'm still way short of that at lvl 64 heh). This would mean a wizard with 40 ranks of the 900s could call a familiar of his/her liking but the color would still be mostly random going towards more and more what you actually summon as you approach that 50 rank threshold.
I think we could put together a decent sized list for both familiars and descriptives that we could then put under the callfam help verb. It'd also be nice that akin to the custom verb you could get a custom descriptive for 920 like an alter that you would decide when you wanted to use it. Maybe one day you want to have your extra crispy chicken breast following you around and all the other wizards who didn't get a custom descriptive would be forced to summon only an original recipe chicken breast.
I really need to stop posting when I'm hungry for chicken. :)
