Who is Felina?
The cat witch leaps wherever she likes and swaps places with her foes.
Felina Velvetpaw is half witch, half cat, and nobody knows which half is in charge at any given moment. She sleeps sixteen hours a day and casts spells twice as fast in the other eight. Her whiskers sense every trap. She loves balls of yarn, warm windowsills and opponents who are not paying attention.
Before the first move, Felina hides the Yarn trap on the board. If your opponent moves onto the square, they get tangled in yarn: Felina steals up to 5 mana and the piece is paralyzed for 1 move.
Spells
Felina's three spells
Every move earns 1 mana, every captured piece adds its value on top. Instead of moving, you cast a spell. After that it needs a few moves before it is ready again.
- Velvet leap
One of your pieces (not the king) leaps once like a knight, without capturing.
- Paw swap
One of your pieces swaps places with an adjacent enemy piece (not king or queen).
- Kitten parade
Master spell: Two new pawns of yours appear on free squares of your third rank.
Tactics
How to win with Felina
Leap over the pawn chain
Velvet leap lets a rook or bishop hop over blocking pawns like a knight. Great for getting a piece onto an open file in a hurry.
Paw swap pulls defenders away
Swap one of your pieces with an adjacent defender of the enemy king. Suddenly the defender is misplaced and your piece sits right inside the camp.
Kitten parade as an emergency wall
Two new pawns on your third rank plug holes in front of your king or cover weak squares. The master spell costs 28 mana and works only once.
Yarn where pieces love to land
Place the Yarn trap on a square enemy pieces like to visit. It steals up to 5 mana for you and freezes the intruder for 1 move.

The rival is Count Fibulus Humbug of the Shadow Guild. When these two meet, it's not just pieces that fly, but quips too.
