If you're playing the excellent cat breeding roguelike *Mewgenics*, you've probably come across an ability that sounds totally useless: Waste Time. If you took a chance on it with the hope Waste Time would reveal itself to be a good spell down the line, you likely walked away doubly confused. But what if I told you that Waste Time — alongside many of *Mewgenics*' seemingly pointless abilities — is one of the best power-ups you can have?
