Fears & Dramatics: Theatrical Illusions
Earmuffus Silencus
Incantation
The world is loud.
I have deleted it.
Speak if you wish.
I hear only snacks.
WHAT?
- Crime
- Ignores you completely when you call their name.
- Casting time
- The moment anyone says your name
- Mana cost
- 1 pair of fluffy pink earmuffs, 1 noisy world, 0 intention of listening
Witnesses report the following: our tiny wizard cat, wearing fluffy earmuffs, peaceful smug face. Casting time: the moment anyone says your name.
The world is loud, so they deleted it. Your voice is in the trash folder with the vacuum. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 pair of fluffy pink earmuffs, 1 noisy world, 0 intention of listening.
The cat considers this a total success and takes a celebratory nap.
Counter-spell
1. Return a slow blink; many cats seem to find it reassuring.
2. Let your cat start contact and choose how close to be.
3. Offer chin and cheek scratches, which most cats enjoy.
4. Keep a calm, predictable routine; it builds trust.
