Specifically, does Aberrate Familiar still work on a Companion Familiar, and would it prevent the casting of Harmless animal spells on it thanks to the type change from Magical Beast to Aberration? Would Channel Animal, as it specifically mentions the Companion Familiar?

Thanks for any help in this!

I don't think there would be an interaction problem, for one of two reasons:

1. The companion familiar explicitly allows you to target it with animal-only spells, and Channel Animal explicitly allows you to channel through your CF. The latter makes no reference to the CF's actual type, and the former references it only in the sense of "animal-only spells work even though it isn't an animal."

2. The companion familiar is similar to but technically isn't a familiar, and the interaction with Aberrant Familiar is moot.
