My permanent Bonded is a merrow. My general element of study is fire, but I can cast very strong water-aligned spells, well above the power and skill that I would likely be able to, otherwise. It remains very draining, but it can be used to surprise effect. My overall power has increased as well, and feels more stable.
While I was Bonded to a chimera, for as short a time as it was, I found myself more resilient than not. A graze from a shotgun wound seemed less dire, and my magic resistance seemed higher against the Witches I fought.
The Monsters gain some effects from the Witches as well. It is mutually beneficial, though I still hesitate to call it necessary.
