The spells given by the familiar can not be taught to other characters.
The familiar gives the character the ability to cast the spells and gives
free mana to the casting.  In your example, you can cast Read Character
for 10 points and not lose any of your mana.  If you were to cast it for
15 points, your character would lose a maximum of five points.

The familiar will be around until the end of the game or until you summon
another familiar.

John.
