Though the damage is very little, there's yet the possibility that the dweomer may stun a weak defender or generally contribute to an enemy's downfall. Additionally, the bite breaks the concentration of a spellcaster weaving a spell.

Disease

There's a 3% chance per caster level that the victim, if humanoid, might contract a [Disease|disease]] from the bite. The disease attacks the brain and nervous system, but is comparatively mild for a disease of this type, lasting 2-5 weeks. There is no saving throw.

The mouse cantrip is similar to a group of other personal cantrips that include bee, bug, gadfly and spider.
