Servitors and Familiars, A Difference and A Similarity Options

While contemplating Nero's working with Ghob that resulted with a subsequent bestowal of an earth elemental familiar, I began considering a possible basic difference and similarity from considering servitors and familiars.


A difference:

A servitor is an entity that is consciously created.
A familiar is an entity that is receives from an aspect of the subconsciousness.


A similarity:

A Mage uses both servitors and familiars for accomplishing specific tasks.



I would appreciate some feedback and other insights regarding that basic comparison.

My belief is that familiars come to you in physical form, such as cat toad, hedgehog.
And that servitors are something you create.
A familiar is to help you here. it is the link to your magickal world when you are in the mundane,
That is how I see it....
