This is what we always used familiars for back in the day. Not only as an extra set of eyes and ears, but as an ST battery for their master. We let them progress right along with the rest of the party and it always seems to take the edge off of the desire to 'Conan' the Mage. We also experimented with letting them take a 'charge' as an actual battery, but we usually found that this over powered the mage.
