Fears & Dramatics: Theatrical Illusions
Blameus Dogus Framus
Incantation
A crash was heard.
I was asleep.
Ask the dog.
NOT ME.
- Crime
- Breaks something and looks completely innocent.
- Casting time
- Right after the crash
- Mana cost
- 1 broken vase, 1 dog bowl, 1 dog who was not even in the room
Picture this: our tiny wizard cat, beside a broken vase pointing a paw at a dog bowl, innocent face. Casting time: right after the crash.
A crash was heard. They were asleep. Ask the dog. The dog is shocked. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 broken vase, 1 dog bowl, 1 dog who was not even in the room.
Sparkly eyes, zero regret, maximum floof. The spell is complete.
Counter-spell
1. Give them a legal launch pad: a cleared shelf or window perch that is theirs to patrol.
2. Play a wand-toy session before your usual 'watching' times, like coffee or calls, so the hunting urge is spent.
3. Keep breakables and full mugs away from edges, or use museum putty on things that must stay put.
4. When they boop something, calmly redirect to a toy instead of a big reaction; drama is the treat.
