Chapter 3 by Orange man Orange man

And your Spell shall be called...

Boring to the ears, difficult to pronounce, but surprisingly powerful.

The first few pages you read consist of what could be officially considered as the most boring thing mankind has ever written on paper, ever. It is nothing but endless scrawls of flummoxing heavy data analysis. You get that they only included it to help you understand the nature of your powers but seriously... It's just too much help. You flip past a couple more and stop upon a page, one that brings a smile to your face. This is exactly what you were looking for.

Pathokinesis is a Mind Spell type with the ability to sense, control, alter and manipulate the feelings, sensations and emotions of other people psionically. Individuals with this ability are sometimes called Empaths. Love, Anger, Hatred, Happiness, Sadness and many other powerful emotions are within the control of any capable Empath.

To make casting Spells relatively easy for an Empath, it is advisable to associate the varying emotions of people with the everyday perceivables such as:

Sight

Blue for Sadness

Red for Anger

Yellow for Fear

Green for Envy/jealous

Purple for Curiosity

Pink for Arousal

Gray for Apathy

Brown for Mischief

Orange for Happiness...

Scent

Skunk smell for Disgust

Soap for Sadness

Fresh flowers for Happiness

Smoke for Anger

Urine for Fear

Forest for Calmness

Muskiness for Arousal...

Taste

Tangerine for Nervousness

Chocolate for Happiness

Orange for Excitement

Chicken for Envy

Onion for Sadness

Pepper for Anger

Wine for Mischief

Vanilla for Arousal...

Feel

Hot for Anger

Lukewarm for Apathy

Cool for Sadness

Vibrating for Excitement

Silkiness for Arousal

Sandpaper for Disgust

Flowery for Happiness...

Hear

Birdcalls for Calmness

Moaning for Arousal

Hiss for Anger

Violin for Sadness

Rock and roll for Excitement

Creepy music for Fear

Baby cheers for Happinesses...

Wow... Just... Wow...

You had a feeling your Sorcery is going to be a good one, but to see it on paper, with your own eyes, it's wayy beyond cool. This blows your mind right out of your body. For a cheap print, the pamphlet sure expound a lot. Being able to manipulate emotions... your mind computes all the possibilities; no more enemies, no more backstabs, no more wondering if a someone really likes you or just tolerating you for the sake of it, you can know if every smile is genuine or fake. Your Sorcery may not allow you to summon lightning from the sky or command dragons, but its potential is... what's the word? Scary.

You end your trip down daydream city and return your attention to the Tome. Turning over another leaf, you see a title that spells WEAKNESSES. Oh, boy.

=======CalSorc=======

WEAKNESS

  • Mana

This basis is everyone's weakness. Spells, as known by all, drains mana, some more than others. So it is advisable to keep a close watch on your mana pool.

  • Willpower

Outcome of an Empath's spell depends on willpower. People with incredible willpower may be able to resist your Spell. It is important to train your own willpower before attempting to use your Srcery on a person.

  • Emotion

While Emotions may be an Empath's greatest weapon, it can also turn out to be a debilitating factor, as the sorcerer may not be capable of dealing with the influx of the sensations. So, it pays to tread softly, perharps one Emotion at a time.

=======CalSorc=======

Uh, you harrumph. The Achilles Heel of your Sorcery may be a little deterring, particularly the willpower thingy, but your Gramps always did say, when Life gives you a woman, make babies with her. It is a challenge you will have to overcome when you get to the institute. But first, the itch for a little test drive gnaws at you, you really want to take your sorcery for a spin. All you need now to find is a test subject among the other students. It might be against the school rules to use your power against a fellow student, but you assure yourself that you weren't harming anybody after all. Your eyes roam the other compartments, those with open doors that allows you to view their occupants. In one, you see a particularly fat boy with plump cheeks, stuffing his face with egg rolls. He is a bit of an easy target, but no way. You prefer someone with a bit more... dare you say it, refinement.

You pass over him to another section where you spy a girl around your age. She is clearly bored, judging by the look on her face and the way she taps at her phone. Her auburn hair has white streaks in the front, which you are fairly sure has something to do with her Sorcery. Although, it pairs up rather nicely with her pale skin and her rough beauty kind of face. She's got the whole goth look down, to the impeccable eyebrows, dark makeup and a spiked choker. Her long sleeve uniform is unbuttoned at the top, revealing a decent amount of cleavage. She is clearly the type that doesn't mind showing off what she has, as the same goes for her short skirt that shows off her long legs, covered in dark leggings and her feet in black boots.

She's perfect.

Following your Tome's instruction, you breathe in sharply and close your eyes, drowning out the sound of the train. Then, you reach for your mana and begin to mold it, feeding it with your intent. Years of watching Professional Spellcasters on YouTube helps you with this particular exercise. You channel the energy to your eyes and after that, you open...

Wow...

You can't even begin to put what you see into words. Everything just seems sharper, so defined, like you are viewing the world through tinted lens. You turn to look at the people in the train... It is just like your book said, everyone respective aura is wafting off them in vivid colors, almost like an RPG game. Dark green aura — greed, is coming off the Fat boy from before. The bored girl is surrounded by a shade of Gray — Indifference.

Then, an idea pops up in your head.

You call upon your mana once more and mix it with your intent. You watch, transfixed, as it emerges from you like tendrils, slowly snaking its way over to your target. You watch, half amazed, half in terror, as the tendrils wrap themselves around the girl who gives no indication of any sort. An innate feeling tells you that you are now linked to the girl and in the clear to impart any emotion you want.

What kind of emotion will you instill in our poor, unsuspecting goth?
