Nope, bane is out. Have her cast Embolding Bond next turn. She's not bleeding yet so Joy sees it requires a drop of blood and says, "-1HP to the uninjured caster."
So Embolding bond on my panther self and Cat.
It's like the negative of Bane right? +d4 vs -d4 but doesn't require blood and is free. Save her MP for healing, we need to stay in the fight.
At higher levels I'll be able to curse cantrips while in panther form obviously I won't have any MP without a spare charged focus on my panther self but I need a druid like skill to do that, Joy's looking into exactly how that works.
Joy will handle the order of events so you're free to make your move.
