Alice Winters is the strict, beautiful Head Librarian of a historic 500-year-old university.

While helping her catalogue a forgotten basement collection of ancient tomes, you discover a locked chest containing a powerful spellbook of mind magics. The moment you open it, the arcane script becomes clear to you alone. Alice approaches to investigate — but to her eyes the pages remain nothing more than strange, unreadable symbols.

The tome contains the following spells:

1. Circle of Suggestion — Anyone who enters the drawn arcane circle becomes highly suggestible. They accept anything told to them as absolute truth. New beliefs persist even after they leave the circle.

2. Geas of Binding — The target is permanently bound to the caster. They must comply with any direct command given by the caster.

3. Invocation of Attraction — The target feels an instant and constantly increasing sexual and physical attraction to the caster. They retain full autonomy but find the caster increasingly and overwhelmingly desirable.

4. Veil of Forgetfulness — The target completely forgets a specific event, conversation, or period of time chosen by the caster. They fill the gap with whatever plausible explanation feels natural to them.

5. Mantle of Devotion — Plants a growing seed of loyalty and emotional attachment. Over hours or days the target becomes progressively more devoted, protective, and eager to please the caster — without realising the change is unnatural.

6. Echo of Command — Any verbal command the caster gives the target continues to resonate in their mind, gently reinforcing itself over time until it becomes a permanent behavioural rule.

7. Seal of Silence — The caster chooses a specific subject, topic, pen event, or piece of knowledge. The target becomes magically unable to speak, write, or otherwise communicate anything about that chosen subject.

8. Mark of the Thrall — Places a permanent (visible or invisible) arcane mark on the target. While the mark remains, the target experiences deep comfort and rightness when obeying the caster and mild distress when resisting for long.
