If the bug is kept in a bottle or otherwise controlled, it can be released in order to strike at desired time to coincide with another attack. If the target is not actively engaged in combat, an attack by the bug increases the chance of surprise by 1 point. For example, a creature normally surprising 2 in 6 would surprise 3 in 6. However, the target must be visibly in view of the caster when the bug is created.

Bug (cantrip).jpg

Bug creates a bug or beetle within the spell range, which can then skitter an additional 20 ft. in any direction and bite one creature on the lower body.

Bug
Range 10 ft.
Duration 1 hour
Area of Effect 1 creature
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw none
Level cantrip

The damage caused by the bug is 1 hit point.

Unlike other cantrips of this nature, the bug can be cast into a glass bottle, where it persists for up to an hour. The bottle can then be given away and kept, until it's released. If released by the caster, it attacks whomever the caster specifies; if released by another, the bug attacks the nearest enemy. The bottle can be thrown, so that it will break and release the bug; this causes no damage to the bug, nor does it alter the bug's behaviour.
