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.

Familiars have a soul. Servitors dont.

That is a very broad statement. What constitutes a soul? Many texts suggest that an animal can be a familiar yet certainly most animals do not have any concept of the "self." If we were to define the soul as one's freedom, creativity, etc. than your statement would seem to contradict endless writings on the matter. What sources or experiences led you to the above post?
