You bind a minor creature to your service, making it your familiar. Until the spell ends or the creature is slain, you gain the service of any creature within range as if it were your familiar, as defined by the find familiar spell. If the creature is unwilling, it must succeed on a wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell fails. You must choose a small or smaller non-humanoid creature with a CR rating 1/4 or lower. The familiar has its normal statistics and traits, but cannot attack. If it is slain, you can summon the same creature again by casting this spell again. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell’s duration is extended to match the duration of this spell. You can only have one creature binded by this spell at one time. If you already have a familiar by another means, this spell fails.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the maximum CR the creature can be increases: 1/2 at 4th level, and 1 at 5th level.
