Casting a Love Spell: How This Witch Found Her Soul Mate

"This witch is getting jitched" There once was a witch named Matilda who lived in a little cottage by the dark forest. She was known for her powerful magic spells and potions. However, her life was about to take an unexpected turn. One day, while collecting herbs in the forest, Matilda stumbled upon a mysterious potion recipe. The recipe promised to grant her unlimited power and make her the most powerful witch in the world. Excited by this discovery, she immediately started gathering ingredients and preparing the potion.

The capacity for emotions can recover but I can see mages may try to speed up the process artificially. Using substances that enhance and elicit given emotions is a dangerous enough thing by itself, so that's a good start for the perils magecraft can do. However, mages casting magic on drugs are likely going to burn out even faster than normal.

So instead of flinging cohesive fireballs, you ll instead get fireballs that fall apart when thrown, sloppily streaking through the air and likely dissipating before they even reach the target. Using substances that enhance and elicit given emotions is a dangerous enough thing by itself, so that s a good start for the perils magecraft can do.

Excited by this discovery, she immediately started gathering ingredients and preparing the potion. After several hours of brewing and mixing, the potion was ready. Matilda took a deep breath and drank the glowing elixir.

The premise: in a fantasy world I'm making, magic is a force woven into the world itself by the gods of the past. The soul of an individual is the means by which they can manipulate this force through spells and similar functions, and the more strongly one feels at one point in time, the more powerful their works of magic can be. The problem: I'm not sure how to most effectively limit the power emotion has, since I don't want a character to be able to solve everything with one adrenaline rush, dopamine high, etc. Potential solutions I've thought of: One possibility is that most magic users need to be emotionally stable to cast most large works of magic, but I don't want that to be the only thing since there's multiple magic-wielding races and it would feel contrived at least to me to give them all the same limit. Anyone have ideas?

$\begingroup$ What if emotional stability only affects how reliably you can cast spells? Some races are more tempered and reliable spellcasters, some are eradic and chaotic $\endgroup$

But instead of feeling stronger, she started to feel strange. Her body began to change, and she could no longer control her spells. To her horror, Matilda realized that she had been jinxed. The potion had turned her into a clumsy witch, causing her spells to backfire and go haywire. Instead of turning a frog into a prince, it turned him into a donkey. Instead of making flowers bloom, her spells made them wither and die. Matilda's reputation as a powerful witch quickly crumbled. People around the village started to mock her, calling her "the jinxed witch." The once-respected sorceress became the laughingstock of the town. Children played pranks on her, and even animals seemed to avoid her. Feeling defeated and desperate, Matilda set out on a quest to undo the jinx. She traveled far and wide, seeking help from other witches and wizards, but no one could break the spell. It seemed that the jinx was too powerful to be undone. However, on her journey, Matilda met a wise old owl who lived in a magical tree. The owl told her that the key to breaking the jinx wasn't in a spell or potion, but within herself. She needed to find her inner strength and believe in her abilities, even if they seemed faulty. With newfound determination, Matilda returned to her cottage and started practicing her magic. She embraced her new quirks and learned to work with them instead of against them. Slowly but surely, her spells began to improve, and she regained some of her lost confidence. Word of Matilda's perseverance and resilience spread throughout the village, and people began to admire her once again. They saw her as an inspiration, instead of a jinxed witch. Matilda even started teaching young witches and wizards, passing on her knowledge and wisdom. In the end, the jinx turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Matilda. It taught her humility, resilience, and the importance of believing in oneself. She became a better witch, not just in terms of magic but also in character. So, the story of Matilda, the jinxed witch, serves as a reminder that setbacks and failures can sometimes lead to our greatest growth and achievements. It is a tale of embracing imperfections and finding strength in the face of adversity..
