The Story

cat--idle

Studying some higher-level spells on your own, you accidentally turned yourself into a cat! Whoops. None of your classes prepared you for this unfortunate circumstance.

Luckily, as a cat, you can still perform spells from your spell book if you find them again. Maybe there are some things you'll do easier as a smaller, cuter creature.

Spells

❄️
Freeze Spell
Keeps your paws dry and grants access to fast-flowing waterfalls. Levels requiring this spell often hide a secret ingredient — combine it with other magical items to craft the Humanizer Potion!
✦ BASIC
💨
Wind Spell
Lets a cat soar through the air with grace — or so they say. This is a rare spell, and for good reason. It is difficult to master, but those who do are greatly rewarded.
◆ RARE
Light Spell
Light up your surroundings to find your way around dark spaces. You may be a cat now but you aren't so good at seeing in the dark like one.
◆ BASIC
🌿
Plant Spell
Grow plants quickly with the power of magic. Who knows when a spell like this may come in handy.
◆ LEGENDARY
