Higer level spells give Greater familiars.

Not that I know of. The familiar is random selected but certain alignments
have a higher chance at certain familiars. e.i. A person of good alignment
has a small chance getting a deamonhound.

Not that I know of. Not very logic too, every time it is a different familiar
or a familiar with different abbilities it needs another number for id. So
why not a totally new type of familiar?

Certain items give familiars when activated. I have a stone key in NIC1 when
activated it gives spell 312 Shadowdrake familiar. When you have the
information about the spell, you can then ask your gamemaster what special
items and how many spell points are needed to cast 312.

For more info about items ask Dean of the university at Leeds he keeps a list
of all items known in the different legend modules.

day.
