Order of the Loaf: Slumber Sorcery
Sunbeamus Meltus

The warm square has arrived.
I shall follow it across the floor.
I shall become liquid.
Do not disturb the puddle.
MELT.

Here is how the spell unfolds: our tiny wizard cat, melted into a flat puddle inside a single square sunbeam on the floor, sparkly eyes open and blissfully smug. Casting time: from 2 p.m. until the sunbeam moves.
They follow the warm square across the floor all afternoon like a tiny solar panel. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 square of sunlight, 1 tiny wizard, and 0 bones, as far as anyone can tell.
Sparkly eyes, zero regret, maximum floof. The spell is complete.
Counter-spell
1. Provide warm spots on purpose: a window perch, a fleece bed, or a pet-safe heated pad on low.
2. Leave room to move away from heat so they can regulate their temperature.
3. Put a cozy bed near where you are; many cats want warmth and company.
