Find Familiar and Patron Taint

[earthcell2004]

I noticed that a spell check result of "1" for Find Familiar lists "Lost, failure, patron taint, and corruption."

I am assuming that patron taint is ignored if the character doesn't have a patron, since nothing specifically states that the wizard needs a patron to find a familiar?

Welcome aboard!

Many other wizard spells have patron taint mentioned at a roll of 1. Naturally you can ignore these if you don't have a patron. You can read more about patrons and patron taint on page 320-321.
