After months of painstaking practice finally got the hang of maintaining his focus through the cat construct for long periods of time. Using the lucidity to think of a way out but his magic keeps malfunctioning and his list of allies is woefully short. Not quite giving up, but definitely frustrated and homesickness isn't helping. Missing his lovers acutely, the thought of the one he knows survived being particularly painful.

Mind


o the sassy uncle you never wanted, mad scientist of the calculating, highly functional variety, ambitious, perfectionist, despot regarding weakness or laziness, raging egoist constantly chasing the high of overachieving, terrified of failure, rebelrebel

o has to actively push human mind through the cracked cat construct, can't stay focused for long enough to get free completely, easily slips into ferality

o incredibly unstable magic due to incompatibility with the forest, favoured by his god back home, good at fiddling with intricate things, chuckles about his new cat body but is actually out for vengeance

o allergic to gold but hoards it, never has enough mirrors, bones bear sigils carved in by magical means

Magic

o ritual, sacrificial
o favoured by the Shattered God back home so he has it easier than most
o incompatible with TEF magic and thus wildly unstable, misfires aggressively

o has tattoos under his fur
o ritual circles that speed up the contact with the God and make feats of will easier
o prefers enchanting work, especially traps and automatons, but won't shy away from more mundane uses
