1. don't know! it's just what it's been called for a long-ass time. maybe because you're blowing the guy away with how great it is, heh
2. sometimes spells require a material component, like ingredients for a recipe. it helps to channel the arcane energy and guide the spell's function. eg. a feather to cast a flying spell
3. have fun~
4. I mean it kinda sounds like the problem solves itself, just make sure he does something that gets you all hot & bothered before you climb aboard lol
there's not really a perfect solution for both issues at once tho- if your body isn't suited for super-spontaneous sex, you might need to just work within those limits. I do recommend lube, it might do the trick. my fella was also a Big Boy in comparison and it helped a lot.
Arcanima does much the same, though it uses geometries and occasionally a catalyst rather than various components. The geometric shapes of your matrices determines the flow and shape of the aether you channel through it.
I've ever been one to break all limits. I will make sure he creates lubricant enough to facilitate my more spontaneous assaults of his person, and I suppose in the worst of cases I can merely use curative magicks afterwards if need be.
Still, it is annoying. If I want him inside of me that very moment, I want him inside of me that moment. Sometimes I simply have no patience to wait. It is good, exhausting, and satisfying exercise. Something this world is otherwise very lacking in.
yeah ours are like that too sometimes. usually a somatic or verbal part of it along with the component. my spellbook's full of whacky math, and a lot of rituals involve sigils and runes and all that fun jazz. actually a number of the soul-affecting spells are that way, so we might get into it at some point.
and dude believe you me I totally get ya. sometimes you just gotta sit on a dick and damn the consequences. bodies have a way of working themselves through what they want, but try not to hurt yourself too much in the process. everything's sensitive down there and you'd hate to do the sort of damage that means you can't have any sexin' for a while
Many of my abilities as a Dark Knight use runes, though I needn't draw them — they appear as I cast. I don't quite understand the intricacies of a Dark Knight's abilities, save for them being based upon the desire to protect.
With arcanima, I often don't need enchanted, conductive inks. Once you've done a spell often enough the shapes are burned into your mind's eye, and the only real benefit of drawing them is there is less wastage of one's aether.
I enjoy some measure of pain. It is far more familiar to me than pleasure. Thus far I've not been injured, but I know of spells that would heal any injuries in a scant few moments.
sometimes powers are like that, I've noticed. it's a huge pain in the ass from an outsider's perspective, but as long as it gets the job done, oh well.
typically for me having a spell already on paper is enough to cover that part of the incantation, but it varies spell to spell. it's all arbitrary too, the spell level doesn't even factor in. magic's fun and wild, that's what I love about it. The randomness is part of that.
if you like pain maybe you'd enjoy BDSM though not when you're in a hurry, maybe. that kink's often about the slow build
I'd like that, if it isn't some kind of taboo or a big deal for you.
BDSM is bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism. Umbrella term for a bunch of different fetishes all lumped together for similarities. The names kind of sum them up nicely.
You'll find most wizards a lot more fussy about sharing their secrets. even I get kinda antsy about the idea. never anything personal, it's just kind of a thing
I can write you up a primer on it if you want. Gimme a bit, info can vary depending on what you're after. Do you want specifics on a particular category or just a general idea of everything?
There are those who keep their research private until they can publish it, or those that hide their forbidden magicks from the public eye for safety reasons.
Aside from black and white magic, the only taboo I am aware of is those of different species being romantically involved. This is something highly frowned upon by at least seven nations, though there are no laws against it.
A general idea of everything would be lovely. Is there aught I can offer in return?
sounds normal. magic can be an incredibly competitive field, and everyone's vying to be the next top dog. scrolls and ink for this sort of thing are also outrageously expensive, so not only is it profitable to create your own, you can sell what you develop for a nice sum of gold. it's a bit like art in that sense.
damn though, that's bull. can't say that's a widespread problem on my world- too many different types of folks around, in or out of government, to police that shit. usually it's how you act that gets you shanked, not who you're boning. though there's always assholes who'll use any excuse to get under your skin.
and sure, I'll throw something together. can't think of a return atm, but if you're the sort of person who's bothered by that, I'll keep that in mind next time I need a favour.
[A little while later, Lup will send along an attached document that explains, in a surprisingly formal and technical prose as opposed to her usual manner of speech, the basics of everything involved in the listed kinks. More like a mini-essay one might write for school, quite informative.]
Supplies can certainly add up in costs. Luckily I had learned enough basic alchemy to craft my own aetherial inks, else I would have been in a bad spot.
There are more sapient races in my home worlds than I can list in a single breath, so it is incomprehensible to me why such a taboo exists. Though at least no one seems to care a wit who you bone — only who you wish to love.
My thanks for the information, Lup. This will prove quite useful.
I prefer things to remain in balance, when possible. Aid for aid, a favour for a favour, and so on.
I'm glad that doesn't seem to be a problem around here, far as I can tell. Not that I've seen a huge amount of unusual hookups, but when it happens nobody really bats an eye.
And no problem. I'll add a notch by your name and let you know if anything comes up. Have fun, and be safe ;)
