Hole

Donut opens a temporary hole beneath herself to escape a snare, then closes it around Cici's neck.

Story so far

At the moment Cici lunges, Donut casts Hole under her feet. The spell removes the trapped floor section and therefore breaks the ninety-second snare, allowing invisible Donut to fall safely to the ground below.

Cici sticks her head through the opening while searching for the cat. Donut dismisses the spell, restoring the floor boundary and cleanly severing the dog's neck.

Appearance

A round magical opening cut cleanly through a wooden treehouse floor.

Role

Hole functions as both escape utility and an exceptionally lethal environmental attack.

Relationships

Princess Donut — She casts and dismisses it with precise timing.

Cici — Closing it around her neck kills her.

Lucia Mar — Lucia reaches for Cici but cannot pull her back in time.
