Incantation

Fear me.
- Crime
- Puffs their tail up like a bottle brush.
- Casting time
- Any time something goes bump
- Mana cost
- 1 sudden noise, 1 startled cat, and a tail three times its normal size
Picture this: our tiny wizard cat, startled with huge puffed bottlebrush tail. Casting time: any time something goes bump.
Something startled them and the tail instantly tripled in size. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 sudden noise, 1 startled cat, and a tail three times its normal size.
Then they wash one paw, very slowly, as if nothing happened at all.
Counter-spell
1. Give them hiding spots and high perches so they can watch from safety.
2. Let them approach new things at their own pace.
3. Avoid startling them on purpose; scares are funny for us and stressful for them.
4. Keep routines predictable, which helps nervous cats feel secure.
