Yes

You try to shake her hand, but she frowns. "No, your other hand." You hold out your left hand instead, and she grabs it with her right, interlocking your fingers. You can't help but notice how soft her hand is, but her grip is firm. "Okay, now try to feel what I'm doing with my ki and replicate it." Before you can ask what ki is, you feel a warm tingling sensation in your palm, quickly spreading to your fingers and up your arm.

⚁⚅ + 1 (Care) = 9

You concentrate as hard as you can on it, and soon you feel the energy within yourself. It's difficult to move, but once you begin it becomes slowly easier. You don't realize as your concentration deepens to the point of ignoring everything outside, all sensation other than analyzing how James is moving her energy, so you can replicate it.

⚀⚁ + 2 (Physical) = 5

You're not quite done, but James pulls her hand away, despite your attempt to hold on. You think you've got it, but you have to act now or you're sure you'll lose it. You clasp your hands together, interlocking the fingers, and try to keep the flow of energy within your body going.

⚃⚅ + 2 (Physical) = 12

⚁⚃ + 0 (Observation) = 6

The tingling starts again, but you ignore the physical sensations it's causing and focus on the flow. You've replicated it perfectly, you feel, and concentrate on keeping it going, as you fall deeper and deeper into your complete focus on the magic.

James had only meant to show her a simple technique, the Soft Energy Palm. And maybe introduce her to the more sexual side of the magic world. The moment she started, Eliza's eyelids drooped. She had thought the first year was simply concentrating, but she felt no resistance to the skill, so she kept going. Then, a smile slowly bloomed on her face, a blissful expression. That was when James became concerned. When a shudder went through Eliza's body, accompanied by a small cry of orgasm, James jerked her hand away. She had never even known it was possible to cum just from the Soft Energy Palm, at least, not when it was only used on your hand.

But even though she thought that had stopped it, the woman put her hands together, and let out a moan. It took James a while to figure out what was happening. She was using it on herself. James ran to the door, and went to go find someone who could help. It took her a while to find her, but she came back with the Housemistress, Malina Sali. Eliza was on the floor now.

"-and then she started using it on herself! I didn't even know that was possible!"

"Hm." Housemistress Sali knelt and put a hand on Eliza, only to jerk it away. "Very interesting."

"What's happening?"

"When you use Soft Energy Palm, you push your energy into someone else. When I touched her, I began to use it."

"What?"

"She pulled my energy in. No matter." She took a deep breath and let it out. "There, it won't happen again." In what seemed like only a second, she ripped off the woman's clothes. "Look at this, James. Her body is responding very strongly to touch, but only skin on skin. She placed a hand on Eliza's stomach, and they watched as she came again. "I don't think separating her hands would do anything, but let's see." She pulled apart Eliza's hands.

⚃⚄ + 2 (Physical) = 11

"As I expected. She can sustain it purely internally. Kind of impressive, really."

"What do we do?"

"I think it would be best if we took her to the Rains."

"Does she... does she need that?" she asked nervously.

"Perhaps not, but don't you think it would be better not to take any chances?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Come." She picked up the moaning Eliza, who hung limply, but orgasmed again in response to the feeling of skin on skin.

She followed behind Housemistress Sali as she walked down the hall. They walked into the common area, and saw that the first years had just finished filing in. There were also some of the older students, gathered to watch the new ones. Everyone stared at the woman, naked, limp, and moaning in orgasmic bliss.

"Handsy, what did you do to her!?" A voice yelled.

"Who is she?" One of the first year girls asked.

"Damn, she's hot." One of the boys muttered. One of the boys walked up. James expected to see him not get close, but was shocked as the headmistress simply watched as he grabbed her chest. She had the feeling that he was going to squeeze it, maybe to see if it was real, but Eliza cried out in orgasm, and the boy simply collapsed on the floor. One of the first years screamed in shock.

"Don't worry, he just needs rest."

"And to be taught not to grab without permission." someone said, and Sali didn't respond. James knew that was as close as she'd come to condoning whatever was going to be done to him.

They left, the crowd making way for them, afraid to touch the blonde as she came for the third time since they first saw her, but some students did follow them.

It didn't take long before they were in the Arecae common room, and most of the students were watching carefully as Professor Sali put down Eliza and explained what had happened to Karen and Aren Rain.

"Catherine?" Aren said, and one of the prefects stepped up.

"Yes, Housemaster?"

"How would you handle this?"

"Well... I suppose I'd get you. I don't know that technique to touch her without her pulling on my magic."

"Seamus." Karen said, and Catherine's partner prefect stepped forward as well.

"Yes, Housemistress?"

"We also do not know Housemistress Sali's technique to shield our magic from her. What will we do."

"Well... I guess you'll..." he thought for a moment. "Just not use it? Yeah, even if she's pulling it in, that's better than pushing it out. It should be easier to figure out what's going wrong than normal."

Catherine frowned at being upstaged, and leaned over Eliza. "Her eyes."

"Yes?" Karen asked.

"Her body is twitching, and she's smiling and moaning and all, but her eyes are completely still. Half closed, looking straight ahead."

"What does that tell you?"

"Um... She's not aware of her surroundings. Or what's happening to her. But from the size of her pupils, I don't think she's unconscious..."

"Which means?" Karen encouraged.

"She's awake, but her mind is disconnected from her body. I think she focused too hard on the magic, and went into a meditative trance. But I've never seen one this deep, even from a Gorathigar."

"Yes." Aren said, "For most people, by the time they are capable of going this deep, they are experienced enough not to. She is focused so hard on the magic she has shut herself off from its rather potent effects. Good diagnosis. Seamus, how would you cure her?"

"Well, I, uh..." he paused, "I'm sorry, but is this a good idea? What about the Frolis Effect?"

"Damage done. That set in before she even came in, I'd guess before Housemistress Sali got to her."

"It should take longer than that, shouldn't it?" he frowned.

"Vubelle."

"What's that?"

"Karin Vubelle," Catherine said, "Proved that the Frolis effect took place much faster when the patient was new to magic. Her family must not be magic. And," she continued, hoping to steal his chance, "We should disrupt her magic. Once she stops using the magic, she'll go back to normal."

"Good try," Aren said, "But no. That would end her state of arousal, but not her meditation. She might even go deeper in an attempt to fix the problem with her spell."

"Do the opposite?" Seamus suggested, "Maybe she's still concentrating because there's something wrong with her technique. We fix it, and she wakes up."

"No." Sali interjected, "She's doing it perfectly. Which is what I would expect, given that the pathways were done following James's guidance."

"What, so she's just practicing? Sounds pretty dull to do for so long."

"She's not experiencing time properly," Catherine said, "She's not going to get bored."

They stared at each other, and then yelled "I've got it!"

"I got it first!" Catherine said.

"No you didn't, besides, he asked me!"

"Then you shouldn't have taken so long!"

Karen cleared her throat. "You're setting a bad example. What do you think we should do?"

"Treatment to increase her mental acuity." said Seamus.

"Plus a little help with her magic's circulation." Catherine added.

"Bigger brain plus easier task means she'll put less of her attention into it."

"Causing her to wake up."

"Correct." Aren said. Karen moved to behind Eliza's head and put her hands on either side. Aren leaned over and put his hands on her breasts.

"Three." they said together, "Two. One." Eliza woke up

You had practiced for a while, and the task now felt simple. Easy. Boring. You blink your eyes and focus on the scene in front of you. It's not your room, it's too big, the ceiling is too high. There's hands on your breasts, and you're completely naked.
