Unaware of his girlfriend’s current preoccupation Robert redoubled his efforts. He could feel the curse fighting him. For one of his power that was
quite a surprise.
Magic is quite often more a matter of intentions then words and of intuition rather then law. So a wizard of enormous power could simply skip all the formalities and apply his power directly to a spell associated with someone.
However the problem with acting in that manner is that control is somewhat lacking. It was his intention that the curse associated with the boy that caused him to act that way be removed. As there was no curse cast on the boy causing him to act that way the magic searched for a proper target.
Magic has rules. Flexible though they are, they do exist and are enforced semi-rigidly. One of those rules is that the farther away a target is the more power is needed to effect it. That also applies to types of spells. A skilled mage could use an ice spell to heat a cup of coffee, but it cost much more in terms of power. Simply put, the farther by either type of spell or distance to target the more power is needed.
Which is how one SRU outlet wizard found himself pouring enough magical energy to turn Chicago into a carp into one Ranma Satome while trying to remove a curse he didn’t have.
Vanessa watched as sweat beaded on her … friend’s brow. Raising her wand she added her own magic into the mix. Being a fairy godmother her magic was naturally adept at illusionary and transformative spells.
Feeling Vanessa’s magic mix with his own Robert couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. He was removing a curse true, but he was doing it because it offended his sensibilities. A proper curse should only make the target suffer, anything else was just plain sloppiness.
Vanessa smirked. She was definitely going to make sure he received a proper reward for this!
