Sitting Where You Shouldn't: Barrier Wards
Bookus Blockus
Incantation
You are looking at paper.
You should be looking at me.
I am now the book.
Read me.
PET ME.
- Crime
- Lies across the book you are reading.
- Casting time
- The moment you reach a good chapter
- Mana cost
- 1 open book, 4 soft paws, and 0 interest in your plot twist
The Spellbook describes the scene like this: our tiny wizard cat, lying across the open pages of a book the human is trying to read. Casting time: the moment you reach a good chapter.
You were looking at paper. You should have been looking at them. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 open book, 4 soft paws, and 0 interest in your plot twist.
The cat considers this a total success and takes a celebratory nap.
Counter-spell
1. Your cat probably wants attention; schedule short play sessions at predictable times.
2. Put a cozy bed or box right next to your workspace, book or TV spot.
3. Reward them for using their spot instead of yours.
4. Ignore the blockade calmly when you can, so it is not extra rewarding.
