You can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target your familiar.

Your familiar gains an amount of extra hit points equal to 8 times the highest spell level you know.

Pocket Defense

Starting at 10th level, as a reaction when you or your familiar are targeted by an attack, both of you can teleport to your familiar's pocket dimension, causing the attack to miss. At the start of you next turn, you and your familiar return to an unoccupied space within 10 feet of the space vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Also at 10th level, you add the Phantom Steed spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast the spell, your may target your Familiar, causing it to grow to Large size and have its speed increase to 100 feet (if it has different move speeds, such as flight or swim, increase it to 60 feet) . While transformed in this manner, the familiar cannot attack.

Arcane Relocation

Beginning at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 100 feet to an unoccupied space adjacent to your familiar. Alternatively, you can choose to swap places with it.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest, or until you use your Empower Familiar feature.





Additionally, whenever you cast a wizard spell of 5th level or lower and your familiar is within 60 feet of you, it can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell.
