She has two spells that work infallibly: a sleep spell, which is powerful but requires that she sit on or near me, and her charm spell, which keeps me from killing her when she bollixes up something or decides to yowl at 3 a.m. for attention. I’m not sure what other spells she has…only that she probably has them and simply won’t comment. 😉 [/sub] ---
