BITE.
- Crime
- Purrs through petting, then bites without warning.
- Casting time
- Exactly one pet too many
- Mana cost
- 11 gentle pets, 1 happy purr, and 1 surprise chomp
Witnesses report the following: our tiny wizard cat, being petted, purring, then suddenly biting the human hand. Casting time: exactly one pet too many.
Pet number nine was lovely. Pet number ten was a federal crime. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 11 gentle pets, 1 happy purr, and 1 surprise chomp.
Afterward, the tiny wizard gives a happy little mrrp, tucks their toe beans under, and accepts all compliments.
Counter-spell
1. Watch for warning signs like a twitching tail, rippling skin or flattened ears, and stop before the bite.
2. Keep petting sessions short and focus on cheeks and chin, which most cats prefer.
3. Let the cat start the interaction and decide when it ends.
4. Never use hands as toys; use wand toys for rough play.
