Pepper here. I’ve never met a magical boundary I didn’t want to cross. So when I got tired of lectures about responsible spellcasting and safety protocols, I decided to show everyone what real pleasure magic looks like. One modified desire amplification spell. A few creative liberties with the rune placement. What could possibly go wrong? Everything, apparently. Now the entire Academy is spiraling into chaos, my spell is feeding something ancient and hungry in the basement, and there’s a very real chance I’ve accidentally triggered the most magically unhinged meltdown in school history. The walls are sweating. Students are climbing each other like trees. Pretty sure a gargoyle winked at me. And that’s before the Concupiscent, our resident desire-fueled eldritch entity, decides to join the party. Time to call in the big guns. Or in this case, one very specific big Rex Blackthorn, supernatural fixer, Hellhounds MC, and the only person wild enough to help me unscrew this mess. They said I lacked control. They were absolutely right.
