Dragon 377 - Familiars by Artifice

[avin]

Except for the weapon destruction issue, you guys see any potential disrupting effect if I allow this bard to use it?

1 - When in active mode, it'd follow all the standard familiar rules, i.e. can't attack, etc.
2 - If hit and "destroyed", it could either fall to the ground, inert, or discorporate, reforming after the next short rest (like a normal familiar). If you go with the latter, the bard would lose access to his weapon/implement for the rest of the fight.
