Somewhere in these threads, Chaol makes mention of how EC can be more efficient than witchcraft. I understood what he meant, because there was a time when I played around with spells and amulets and such.

I had met a man that I really liked, but his feelings towards me were unstable. This was all right, really, because I was not looking for anything long term. I made a little something on a new moon that I activated by wearing it over my heart until the full moon, with the intent that we would get together and enjoy ourselves for awhile.

I gave this little something to the man and explained its meaning. He was thrilled! He carried it with him everywhere. One weekend, we were at a festival, sitting in his car for a moment, when he got upset because he had dropped this item and couldn't find it. We looked all over for it and finally gave up.

I want you all to know that this fling with an interesting man stretched to ten years! I could not get rid of him! After a couple years, it was clear that we were not meant for each other, but he clung to me like butter on toast.

I still blame it on his losing that spell-bound item in his car. He finally sold that car! And that is about when we butted heads for the final time and said our last goodbyes. Such a relief!
