Mastery (Sex Wizards, #2)

by Alethea Faust

Abjuration is a versatile school, one that is considered fundamental for any wizard pursuing multiple masteries. The spells produced from rope bondage can be used to contain or expel, block or bar. Using more constricting ties, more complicated knots, and adding elements of suspension can all vary the strength and power of a spell. Fundamentals of Magic by Eroland Lockhart

Galiva’s so godsdamned beautiful that I’m having a hard time looking away from her. And with her trussed up as she is, I get to stare all I like.

“You’re an incredible sort of wizard, Dominai. Very few are so willing to trust and experience as openly as you do.”

Evocation is a school that can be very polarizing for some. Many wizards do not enjoy pain, but they will conduit for other forms of sensation play that fall under the school. Others take the pain of heavy evocation without so much as batting an eye. Therefore, it is important to understand your conduit’s preferences and limits before casting a spell in the school.

My chest swells at the praise, and for once, I don’t flinch away from it. He’s right - today was a challenging day, but hearing him say it does something to me. I’ve always shied away from folks telling me the good things about myself because part of me could never believe them. Yet hearing Arlon say it breaks through the barrier of disbelief I’ve built around myself. For once, I’m proud of myself for what I was able to handle.

When collaring, giving rewards for good behavior is just as important as administering punishments for infractions. When rewarding, be sure to utilize things that you know your conduit enjoys. Advanced Casting Principles: Collaring by Felix Kessler

“Fucking hell, Dom,” he says. He gathers me up in his arms and sinks back into the pool, settling me onto his lap. “Have you ever had an internal orgasm before?” I give a small, exhausted laugh and sink bonelessly against his chest. “No, sir. But you may have ruined regular ones for me.” Arlon strokes my wet hair away from my face. “Wait until I give you both at once,” he rumbles into my ear. “Then you can say I’ve ruined you.” I shiver and let my eyes slide closed. “I hope that’s a promise, sir.”

Collaring means taking control of your conduit in a way that extends beyond casting. Reinforcing your control through mundane tasks can be an effective way to heighten the spells you create with your conduit at a later time.

“I’m sorry, Dom. I didn’t realize you would encounter the King during this trip.” My grin comes out crooked. “Well, sir, you missed nearly bringing me to orgasm in front of him by a whole five minutes.”

When a conduit is collared for a period of time, enacting punishments can be an effective way to obtain multiple spells during a single session. A caster can fluidly move from one school to another. For example, evocation can be used as a painful correction while enchantment can be used to ensure the lesson sticks.

“That’s too bad. Rewards are only given to those who earn them. If you hadn’t forgotten my lunch, I might have considered it. I was feeling so merciful earlier.”

“Four days to turn you into a perfectly obedient fuckboy of a conduit.

“I am not the type of caster who enjoys breaking people,” he says. “I like to explore tolerance, see what my conduit can take, but Dom, I looked at you, and you looked… shattered. I’ve never felt so cruel.”

“I am so sorry,” he says, his voice layered with guilt. “I know your history with enchantment. I never should have used it as a punishment. Coupled with the day I put you through earlier, I pushed you way too far. I… let the frustrations of today fuel me, and I mishandled you.”

“You really are an incredible kind of wizard, Dom. You experience everything so acutely. You trust implicitly, and your desire to please is deeper ingrained than your own self-preservation.

Straetham is second only to the Lenear Isles in their open views of sex and sexuality. While the Strae villages in the mountains and other rural areas tend to be more conservative than the capitol city, none can compare to the strict sexual conservatism of the oligarchy of the Cairish Shykhdar.

Many of the methods wizards use to create magic would be considered torture without the presence of consent. Yet mistakes can happen, and a wizard must feel comfortable stopping if they are pushed beyond their tolerance.

No one warned me that being collared would tire me out mind, body, hole, and soul.

When releasing someone from a long period of chastity, be prepared for a marathon casting session.

“When that collar comes off, when we drop this power dynamic, my only wish is to see that confidence grow,”

Because of the nature of wizard’s work, complicated emotions can arise. It is important to address any jealousy or insecurity from casting partners with open and honest communication.

“Not everyone has the freedom to decide their own fate. You made the choice to come here, to study magic that has the potential to change the world we live in for the better. Carrying the expectations of others, living or not, will only hold you back.”

“Unlearning what we’ve been taught to expect from ourselves is no small task, but I can promise you that the work is worth it.”

“Olbric, I don’t want you to collar me,” I say. “Everything I did with Arlon was for casting, but what we do together - it goes beyond that. I want to laugh with you, and spend time with you, and… be with you.” I can’t stop a small laugh. “You make me feel like no one else can. Seeing you only one day a week would be unbearable.”

Divination is considered one of the riskier schools of magic, but that is because, in part, it is the least understood. The depths of the silver are vast, and there is so much about what divination magic can be used for that we have yet to discover.

While inflicting pain through a flogger or other impact device can often create powerful force blast effects, there are a number of other sensations that are often overlooked when creating evocations. Hot wax, for example, can give an element of a fire burst to your spells.

This is the part I like. I like seeing how heated up I’ve gotten him. I like seeing his lust, his desperation, and I like knowing that I’m the only one who can satisfy him.

Enchantment is a nuanced school, and one that can be a challenge for some to master. It is a school that allows you to embrace a darker side of yourself, to humiliate and degrade another person for your mutual pleasure. Fundamentals of Magic by Eroland Lockhart

In a way, transmutation and enchantment are sister schools. There is sometimes an overlap with the casting materials, but the key to getting the effect you want out of the finished spell has to do with your conduit.

Corpimancy is a school that is often misunderstood, even by wizards. Old superstitions link any form of blood magic to necromancy, and though this is patently untrue, the notion persists.

The work of wizards is often dangerous and thankless. Yet even through the most difficult trials and tribulations, the Crux and the individuals who inhabit it remain strong.

Magic is a miraculous thing. It can do impossibilities, make real the unreal. Yet it is also important to understand that every good thing can be poisoned when used by the wrong person. In the wrong hands, magic can create nightmares.

Theory need not be at the forefront of a casting. Sometimes, a spell can be as simple as listening to your conduit and fulfilling a need they haven’t been able to fulfill elsewhere. Never forget that magic is personal.

Illusion involves altering your conduit’s senses, whether that’s by taking them away or manipulating them through other means. Though it is considered a higher risk casting method, narcotics can be used during casting.

The wonderful thing about having someone collared is that you can use them however you please (within the parameters of what your conduit consents to, of course).

Gathering the right equipment can be imperative for the success of a spell. This can often mean commissioning non-magical craftspeople to create the items you need. With luck, they will be receptive to the request and coin you offer, but if not, you may need to seek out alternative sources.

Enchantment can be a fickle school of magic. What may cause one person to roil with shame may have no effect on another. The key to a successful spell is to find what affects your conduit and indulge it. Helping them find pleasure in what they’re embarrassed or humiliated by is essential.

“It’s lying to you. Don’t let it win. You’re enough, Dom.”

“You know what I’m going to teach you while you’re collared?” I ask as I land another smack against his tender skin. I wrap my fingers around his testicles and tug them down. He groans miserably, and the sound makes the hairs on my neck stand on end as a sadistic thrill rushes through me. His length twitches before I give it a sharp slap. He gasps and jerks back, eyes wide with shock and lust. “Patience.”

“Since you can’t seem to keep it under control, maybe I should lock your cock away when you’re like this. Make it so you have nothing to offer but your hole and your mouth. I bet that attitude would go away real quick when I’ve kept you desperate for a night.”
