A Zi Ri shouldn't really get impatient, I know... Alas.

What is your best spell?
What are your magical ambitions?
Magic is tedious -- I don't intend to study it any more than they made me in gradeschool.
2(10.0%)

7(35.0%)
I wish to be a professional mage of some sort (e.g., a spellbinder or enchanter, or even a guard-mage or professor of magic). I had better get good at a fair bit, right?
6(30.0%)
I am a magic geek! I want to be a great wizard! Magecraft is my life!
2(10.0%)
If someone were getting you a boxed spell to graft, as a present, what kind of spell would it be? (No this is not an offer! Unless you want to do an even trade!)

Something to compensate for one of my defects, like a spell of clear vision or fur-cleaning.

Something of professional use to me.
0(0.0%)

Other...
2(10.0%)
And what in specific might it be?
And, just to show that I'm the same Sythyry you all know: If you were casting a spell on someone you fancied, it would be:
A grooming spell -- my lover is very messy. (I do hope Lozostra isn't taking this...)
1(5.3%)
An energy spell like Bouncy Vigor -- my lover never gets enough sleep naturally. (I do hope that no married studen ts are taking this....)
4(21.1%)
A contraceptive spell! I'm cisaffectionate [attracted to same-species other-gender(s)] and I don't want children yet!
1(5.3%)
A flashy spell, maybe an illusion or something -- I don't have anyone just now and I'd like to impress someone.
8(42.1%)
An attack or a torment! My lover has recently enraged me!
0(0.0%)
Cloak of Another God or some other shapeshifting spell -- I want some variety in my sexual experience, but I want to stay with the same person.
3(15.8%)
A voluntary lust-spell. My partner is having some trouble in that regard, unfortunately. (No, nobody has specifically complained about this problem to me.)
2(10.5%)
A love-spell or an involuntary lust-spell -- I'm a wicked evil Mentador mage and I stop at nothing to gratify my desires!
