Body Hair Removal

Zeke looked up a quick and dirty one, a simple hand gesture and incantation: "Cap Remotion!" Zeke said, making a hand sign like scissors cutting through paper in the direction of Alex.

There was a warmth that tingled at his finger tips as a thin spark of energy materialized and like a laser pointer hit Alex's chest.

Alex didn't react, "Did it work?"

"Didn't you see the beam of light coming out of my finger tips?" Zeke asked.

"Nope," Alex shrugged, "you did? What was the spell supposed to do?"

"Yeah ... I was casting a body hair removal spell..."

Alex touched the top of his hair, "Fuck, am I bald?"

"No, it's only the hair growing below your ears. So like beard, chest..."

"Did you just shave my pubic hair?!" Alex asked, he ran to the bathroom. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!! IT WORKED!!!"

Zeke laughed, "Seriously?"

Alex came back, "100%, I would not lie about that. But yeah my arm hair is completely gone and my 5 o'clock shadow is gone too."

Zeke examine Alex's face, it did look a lot smoother than before. "Okay, next spell has to be MORE noticeable..."

"Hair color! Let's see if I can have anime protagonist hair," Alex was beaming.

Zeke opened the book to the page on hair color, "Okay... Cap Cael!" This motion was much more like blowing dust.

Alex's red hair began to turn a bright shade of purple.

"Did it work?" Alex asked looking for a mirror.

"Kind of ... It was supposed to be blue, but it came out violet."

Alex was checking his new hair in the mirror, "It must be because I was a red head before."

Zeke read the book more, "It's apparently a common mistake with newbies casting spells. According to the book, if I'm not trained enough spells could have a few mistakes. Normally it would turn your hair blue, but because I'm new I'll need to use it more to get used to it."

"Makes as much sense as you being able to use magic," Alex said, "Can I have a try?"

Zeke tried to hand him the book but Alex dropped it.

"That's not funny," Alex said. He tried to pick the book up, but every time his hands went right through it.

"It must be some kind of defense mechanism?" Zeke said, he opened it up to the hair color page, "Try casting this."

Alex squinted at the page, "Um... You can read this?"

Zeke sighed, "I guess the book only wants one owner."

"Bullshit... I guess so..."
