A Bonder's Ally: You gain a companion who fights tirelessly by your side. You may achieve it via the Zoan Rite (becoming a Zoanthorpe) or The Veil Trial. Once finished, this companion can be any creature with the Beast tag, gaining the stat block of that creature. The creature levels with you. If it were to die, it disappears into your compass until your next long rest, where it can be summoned again.

Abilities

Nomadic Step
As a bonus action, you and your companion can teleport up to 60 feet to unoccupied spaces that you can see. When you appear, you release a bright flash of light, forcing creatures within 10 ft of the destination to make a DC (8 + proficiency modifier + highest ability modifier) Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. Creatures blinded in this manner repeat the saves at the end of their turn. You can use this ability twice, regaining expended uses upon completing a long rest.

(At Level 3, you gain this ability)
Blessed By The Veil Light
Both in the Worlds and the Ruins, there are hidden locations that you would know where you can hide with your party. Once while taking a short rest during a dungeon or adventure, you may use your compass to long rest in a pocket dimension instead. You can use this ability once, regaining the use after completing a long rest without Blessed By The Veil Light.
