Sleep of Bast / The Purring Slumber / Grimalkin's Trance / Catnap

This is a magic known only to cats (and perhaps a few others of the 'faerie world'). It is usually cast by a combined group of cats, each of them contributing a single magic point to the effort. The spell is accompanied by a soft purring or meowed chanting sometimes noticed by victims just before they drift off to sleep.   A successful POW Resistance Table roll against the number of magic points powering the spell allows the victim to shake the effects off. Because of this Cats rarely attempt the spell without enough magic points to guarantee success.   The spell affects any number of victims within hearing distance, those put to sleep dozing for 1D2+1 hours, undisturbed by all but the loudest of noises or most violent of motions. Drastic measures are often required to wake a sleeping victim, including dousing with ice-cold water, firing off a pistol near the victim's ear, or other creative methods. Once awake the victim suffers no other ill effects save a grogginess that lingers for an hour or so.
