Is there any way a Dark Companion can die?

[Mockingbird]

Hexblades have this alternate class feature called Dark Companion (it suits hexblades perfectly) but is there any way they can die? It says that it can be dispelled, but it reforms 24 hours later. If you move more than 100 feet away from it, it teleports back to you. It can't be hurt, and it's incorporeal. But is there any way this can be permanently dispelled or killed?

It's impossible to kill what isn't real.

Not that I know of. I mean, you could use Expunge the Supernatural to get rid of it permanently (it's (Su), right? I don't have my book open), I guess, but that's not quite the same thing.

"At 4th level, you can create an illusory companion, resembling a panther, spun from the night."

I'm assuming this means it's an illusion.

It's just an illusion, but you can easily kill it. Just kill the Hexblade.

Huh. I just actually read it, and it doesn't have the (Su) tag, so Expunge the Supernatural won't get rid of it. (Interestingly, RAW, an AMF wouldn't either, since it doesn't say that it's magical . . . just that it can be dispelled. RAI, sure, but RAW? Not so much. Admittedly, that "treated as a spell" thing is a bit ambiguous, but still, ever so slightly sloppy writing.)

I do love Hexblades. I just wish they were better (especially for more than a dip).
