Being injured makes it hard to cast the spell, which requires a lot of broad hand gestures. It’s making the process slow and painful, instead of cool-looking. The werewolf takes advantage and leaps at your throat, taking a big bloody bite…!

As you lose consciousness on the floor of the subway car, you think about tomorrow’s mandatory 8 am “Progress Update” meeting. You told Emily in marketing that you’d rather die than go to that meeting, and when she said you were exaggerating, you smiled and insisted you weren’t. So now you have a perfect excuse for skipping what’s sure to be a very boring meeting.
