A bit of experimentation

Eventually, he recovered. But that didn't mean all was well. With a startling realisation he discovered that his dick was still extremely sensitive. However this time, it wasn't a mysterious consequence of magic. No, he'd rubbed it so raw that it was a wonder it hadn't turned into mulch.

"Fuck," was all that he managed to say.

I have no idea what the absolute fuck just happened, but it was damn weird. And I also know my cock hurts like hell. I need to figure out how to cast magic on myself. I'm not waiting for this to heal naturally.

As stubborn as he may have been, Xander wouldn't be able to ignore the rule of no self targeting. That's not to say there weren't certain workarounds. And Xander's mind was already working on one of them.

Hah, I got you now! Sure, maybe I can't target myself with my own magic, but what's stopping some other kind of magic from doing so?

Filled with motivation, he hurriedly jumped out of bed. Then he also instantly slowed down when he felt the ache between his legs flare up, but continued on his hunt for the correct ingredients.

Said ingredients being only a glass of water and some ginger.

I think I read once somewhere that ginger has some healing properties or something. Or at least, that's what some people believe. And now, with actual real magic, I might as well try it.

He grated a bit of the ginger root into the water and aimed his wand at it.

Alright, let's hope this works.

"Become a magic healing potion!" Xander shouted at the glass of water.

And lo and behold, accompanied by a stirring in his loins, the ginger completely dissolved into the water, resulting in a deep yellow-ish mixture remaining in the glass. Even a microscope wouldn't have been able to distinguish that there had been multiple ingredients, it would have all just looked like a homogenous liquid.

Wow, almost can't believe that worked. Well, there's still the small detail of checking if it actually works. Oh well, bottoms up!

As Xander chugged all of the potions, leaving not even a drop behind, a strange sensations took over his body. Beginning from his stomach, a pleasant warmth started to expand in all directions. It enveloped his whole body in its soft embrace and got to work. Every small pain that Xander had accumulated over his short while on Earth gradually vanished, as if it was never there in the first place.

The biggest change, however, happened in his crotch. The potion's effect lasted much longer there. So long that the rest of his body was already long done being healed and all the leftover healing energy gathered at his cock and balls. Weirdly enough, with so much of it gathered the sensation didn't change into hotter and hotter. Instead, a cool feeling enveloped the entire area.

Not even a minute later, it was over. Xander was as healthy as he'd ever be. Especially his dick which was, once again, standing at half mast.

Alright then, this is definitely suspicious. Yes, the effect of that potion (oh my god I actually made a potion!) was sort of pleasurable, but I have doubts that I could normally get it back up that fast. Especially after it took such a beating.

No, that just can't be possible. Which would mean... he looked at the wand still clutched in his fist, that you're the perpetrator!

Could it truly be that magic runs of some kind of pleasure energy, or on horniness? I guess that'd sort of make sense with what's happened to me.

More testing needs to be done either way. The simplest one of course being just a continuation of what I'd started. Just gotta make sure I don't lose myself this time and pay attention.

Xander got back to work with cleaning his apartment with magic's help. At last, he noticed what with every spell he cast, his erections would grow a bit, along with his arousal and horniness. And since he was already paying attention to any strange stuff that may be happening, he also took notice when a strange feeling began to rise in his chest. A sort of... emptiness.

Huh, I really was right after all then. Whatever I'm using to do magic is definitely at least related to arousal. Thankfully I can also tell I don't have enough energy by this feeling of emptiness. Otherwise I'd be unable to tell apart being horny and needing to recharge magic.

Either way, both are solved in the same manner, so I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Finally, with all that figured out, it was time to end the day. With all of his experimentation, time flew by and it was already late evening. So, with a tired yawn, Xander headed to bed. Naturally, he still had to recharge his magic, but after that he passed out until morning.
