Guild of Thieves: Acquisition Magic
Glassesus Hideus
Incantation
They were here.
Now they are not.
I am sitting on nothing.
WHAT GLASSES.
- Crime
- Sits on your glasses so you cannot find them.
- Casting time
- The moment you say "has anyone seen my glasses?"
- Mana cost
- 1 pair of eyeglasses, 1 chubby mint-green cat, 0 eye contact
Picture this: our tiny wizard cat, sitting on a pair of eyeglasses, looking innocently away. Casting time: the moment you say "has anyone seen my glasses?".
They were here. Now they are not. The cat looks at the ceiling, very innocently. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 pair of eyeglasses, 1 chubby mint-green cat, 0 eye contact.
No apology is ever issued. Only a slow blink, which, in Spellbook Latin, means "you are welcome."
Counter-spell
1. Store small things like hair ties, earbuds and pen caps in drawers or lidded boxes; small items can be swallowed.
2. Give them cat-safe toys to bat around instead, and rotate them so they stay exciting.
3. Trade the stolen item for a treat rather than chasing them through the house.
4. If you think something was swallowed, call your vet right away.
