"Remember, Lilara, a spirit is not a person, nor is it a mindless beast. While lacking rational thought for the most part, spirits do have definitive natures. As such, the best results are created by summoning and using a spirit with the same base nature as the task you seek to put it towards. Were you to send a message of love through a spirit of cruelty, for instance, it would likely be twisted so that you would never see your loved one again in friendship."
Lilara listened intently to her tutor, but smirked a secret smirk at her plans for this new Art she was learning. While not actively persecuted any more, witches were mistrusted for the unnatural forces and powers they could call upon, in spite of the fact that they used their powers for good for the most part. The life of a witch's apprentice was lonely. Perhaps spirits could help ease certain desires and longings in her life...
"Lilara!" Aldrea, Lilara's mentor snapped. "Are you paying attention? What was I just saying? These are important warnings, you know! I don't say this stuff for the fun of it!"
"You were talking about the nature of spirits, and matching your purpose to their nature, Dark Lady. How a spirit of a nature contrary to your intention was likely to create damaging or disastrous results." Lilara replied.
"Very good, Lilara. Now, do you have any questions before the end of this lesson?" Aldrea asked.
"Yes, Dark Lady. Is it safe to allow a spirit to touch a person?" Lilara blushed slightly, feeling her intentions in asking were obvious, especially with the next question she planned on asking, although there were many other reasons she may have chosen to ask this question.
"It is not inherently dangerous to touch a spirit, or allow it to touch oneself. The touch of a spirit is an unusual but harmless sensation, which varies somewhat depending on the nature of the spirit. Anything else, Lilara?"
"May I practice this Art in my spare time?" Lilara asked. She would have preferred to keep her plan completely secret, but Aldrea could sense any witchcraft used within her house, and Lilara really didn't want her bursting in on her and demanding to know what she was doing when she put her plan into action.
Aldrea frowned thoughtfully, and then nodded. "Yes, Lilara. I believe you are experienced enough in this Art to safely practice on your own. I trust your judgment to not do anything above your abilities."
Lilara could not stop a grin from spreading across her face as she left the Instruction Room. She flicked her wrist casually as she walked into her room, igniting the magical lantern hanging on the wall. An elegant gesture clicked the door shut behind her, and locked it. Sinking onto her bed, Lilara gave in to the desire which had been playing on the corner of her mind all day.
She ran her hands over her body. Her fingers ran up and down her thighs, creating tingles running through her body. Then her hands moved up to her belly. Now Lilara raised her hands up to her breasts, cupping her fingers around them and gently, sensually, massaging them through her shirt. Growing bored of this game, and lustier, Lilara pulled her top down off her chest, exposing perky, erect nipples. Lilara ran her fingers around and over them, sending a shiver down her spine.
