One piece.
The last piece.
In my mouth.
Puzzle forever unfinished.
- Crime
- Steals puzzle pieces.
- Casting time
- The moment the puzzle is almost finished
- Mana cost
- 1 jigsaw puzzle, 1 stolen piece, and an unfinishable picture
Here is how the spell unfolds: our tiny wizard cat, lying on a jigsaw puzzle with a piece in its mouth. Casting time: the moment the puzzle is almost finished.
999 pieces done. The last piece is somewhere safe, in a cat's mouth. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 jigsaw puzzle, 1 stolen piece, and an unfinishable picture.
Scholars agree it is impossible to stay mad at a face that round.
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.
