Hunt & Play Arcana: Pounce Spells
Tailus Chasus Eternus
Incantation
There is an enemy behind me.
It follows me everywhere.
It is fluffy.
It is fast.
I WILL CATCH IT.
- Crime
- Chases their own tail in dizzy circles.
- Casting time
- Forever, or until she gets dizzy
- Mana cost
- 1 fluffy tail, 4 spinning paws, and 0 idea it is her own tail
Witnesses report the following: our tiny wizard cat, spinning in a circle chasing its own tail, dizzy swirl lines. Casting time: forever, or until she gets dizzy.
The enemy behind them is fast, fluffy, and attached. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 fluffy tail, 4 spinning paws, and 0 idea it is her own tail.
No apology is ever issued. Only a slow blink, which, in Spellbook Latin, means "you are welcome."
Counter-spell
1. Schedule daily interactive play that ends with a 'catch', so the hunt feels finished.
2. Rotate toys every few days to keep them exciting.
3. Put wand and string toys away after play; strings can be dangerous if swallowed.
4. Give them safe ambush spots like tunnels and boxes.
