Powered creatures providing magical ability is a quite old belief. The witch's familiar and the like are great examples. In this case, the familiar would likely be Ally (100%; Constant; Special Abilities, +50%) [30], meaning that they are equal to the PC.

In my opinion, RPM works best for that sort of magic. It would not be unusual to see a magician with Magery 0/8 (Accessibility, Granted by familiar, -40%; Pact, -10%) [40] and Ritual Adept (Accessibility, Granted by familiar, -40%; Pact, -10%) [20]. The Pact would represent the pact made by the mage to the Powers That Be to gain the services of their familiar. Without the familiar, the Mage would have only Magery 0.
