[UA] Sex Magick?

[Eric Cazzoli]

Reading through PoMoMa and the UA site, I couldn't find any adept schools
which really, bluntly put, have to do with sex, and nothing but sex.  I
mean, we have the Pornomancer, the True Pornomancer, the Amoromancer, the
Libidomancer, the Nymphomancer...  am I missing one?  There's the
Orgasmancer but that was a minor school and I wasn't quite happy with it.
In a game where some major unnatural phenomena have occurred and other
weirdness, and the player characters went badly mad (all of them have 5
Failed notches in Unnatural), I allowed them to spend their XP on magick;
the idea behind it being that the phenomena have chipped off and imprinted
the player characters, allowing their obsessions to fester up to the point
where they are now slightly beginning to wrinkle and bend reality. One of
the player characters chose something like sex magick and I assured him that
there would be something to cater to that, somewhere in the UA books or on
the 'net.  I was stumped seeing nothing matching the idea we had as a spur
of the moment.

So far I've worked out a new adept school, the Luxuriamancer, of which the
symbolic tension is that it's giving into animal lust to gain cosmic
control, although being one step away from the animal, refraining from rape,
and enslaving oneself to the libido of others.  I'd love some feedback,
constructive criticism, and to hear some weird spell ideas (I always take
way too long to come up with cool spell ideas; it took me months to work out
the Infernomancer and the Tractomancer to a point where I liked their
spells).  Thanks in advance.

Here goes:


THE LUXURIAMANCER

Lust is a monster that must be fed. Nurturing the animal side, you tame the
beast, and control the sheep whose lust is oppressed, desperately crying out
to you and begging for you to unleash them and then let them thrive under
the yoke of your power.

AKA LUSTMONKEYS, SEXCHEMISTS

Virginity? What's that?
You're not sure if you knew what it was before you lost it. Not that you'd
care though. You immediately realized how much power it gave you – power
over yourself, over others, even a bit of power in the sense of what people
thought about you. When was the last time you heard someone call one of
those geeky virgins a „stud"? Yeah, right.
Staying virgin until they marry? Hey, they can be your guest – more power to
you, more batteries teeming with sexual energy you can suck dry. Those cunts
who fake orgasms or constantly have head-aches when you want some booty?
They're wasting your fucking time. Those duds who go in and out and you
didn't even notice their tiny member and they're already exhausted? Fucking
party-crashers. Sexual inhibitions? The instruments of tight-assed
narrow-minded losers, used mainly to lie to themselves and others and
double-think their way into being „normal" or morally appropriate in
society. Oh, the innocent flirts? They're chicken-shit teases who can't make
up their silly minds, that's all they are. They are all weak. They are all
deviating from the most natural path of true power.
And love? Fuck that. You dump it in the nearest alley and move on, or leave
in the wee early hours before it wakes up. Saving yourself up just for love
would be the easy way out, and there's nothing to gain from that. No
friction, no challenges, and once you've got it, the wind will eventually
get blown out of it. You wouldn't grow an inch if you weren't willing to go
further than that into the erotica incognita, further than the last time,
every time, back and forth. Giving up those chances is like sacrificing your
crown and throne and then cutting out your tongue although you'd have the
opportunity to rule an empire of the sexually frustrated, one johnson by
one, one pussy by one.
People are nothing but sophisticated animals, they just don't get it yet.
What you do does not make you any filthier than they are, and whatever they
do they will never let them reach to the clouds and heavens you can reach
unless they do the same thing you do – drop the inhibitions, embrace the
instinct. Fuck. Live. Eventually you'll die, so you don't have any time to
waste with thoughts, philosophy, morals, ethics, enlightenment, spiritual
power, or whatever the fuck people use as a sorry excuse in attempt to drag
you down from your throne of sexual power. Your body is your palace and your
temple.
You aren't ignorant like other people, you welcome lust into your temple.
Because the temple is hollow otherwise, and an empty temple is impotent.
The central paradox of Luxuriamancy is that you gain control with your
virtuous diligence to giving and taking sexual satisfaction, but at the same
time you are a slave to your own viceful and animal lust as well as
submissive to the libidos of others. You're probably the guy or gal
everybody wanted to screw at high school, but was then constantly dumped
right after any of those shitheads actually got into bed with you so they
could boast having done such a horny hawt slut like you. It should go
without saying – while there may be a good number of folks out there who are
immensely attracted to you and easily tempted by your sexual allure, there
will always also be at least as many people who are repelled by your
reputation or aura which is drenched in the body fluids of relentlessly
whoring around. While you are nearly omnipotent in controlling and evoking
attraction and desire, you are practically impotent in bonding permanently.

LUXURIAMANCY BLAST STYLE
A Luxuriamancer's blast does not deal any physical damage, it provokes
Helplessness and Self checks which – if either one is failed – force the
target's lust to boil over and deconstruct the target's inhibitions,
resulting in the target trying everything short of rape to have sex with
another target of the Luxuriamancer's choice, and if they flat-out don't
succeed at that over a long period of time, it may also begin to trigger
further Helplessness checks at the GM's discretion. It's a very subtle kind
of blast which can drive people mad, and force them into trying to have sex
with certain people (or the Luxuriamancer who dealt the blast). Hey, if you
use it to force someone to have sex with someone else who's, for example,
HIV positive, it's not a far cry to say this blast can be quite deadly and
subtle at the same time, even though it falls flat of directly dishing out
Wound points like other blasts.
Getting hit by a Luxuriamancy blast does not seem unnatural to anybody.
After all, there are things like „opposites attract",  „love on second
sight", „you hate who you love", and so on. People hit by these blasts will
pull any explanation out of their asses in order to explain their sudden
lust for someone else.

STATS
Luxuriamancers can't gain any more than six charges from the same person
within one month – more than that just „doesn't have the same spark". If
such a person is involved in one of the Luxuriamancer's sex orgies, the
number of people involved in the orgy excludes such „discharged" chumps.
The length of the sexual interaction is actually rather irrelevant, as is
the number of orgasms experienced in the process. One „session" of sex as
detailed below will net one charge each, period. Furthermore, the sessions
can only be bummed for charges twice a day and night together, no more. If
for example, a lustmonkey gains a minor charge on a quickie during his lunch
break with a working associate, then goes to the swinger club in the evening
for a significant charge, he won't be able to charge up a third time by
going home and screwing his latest girlfriend in the same night.
Generate a Minor Charge: Having consensual sex with a partner. This can be
anything from a quickie all the way to an all-nighter.
Generate a Significant Charge: Having a consensual sex orgy with nine or
more partners. Alternatively, having a consensual sex orgy with two or more
partners who do nothing but sexually satisfy you, not eachother – only you
get the full treatment. This will probably take at least a few hours, but
probably the entire night.
Generate a Major Charge: Having a consensual sex orgy with nine or more
partners who do nothing but sexually satisfy you, not eachother – only you
get to go the whole ten yards and beyond the summit. If this doesn't take
all night long and you're not satisfying those partners back to a certain
extent, you probably can't expect to pull this off again with them too soon
– or ever again.
Taboo: Getting downed from the sexual high for too long. If you go 24 hours
without at a single orgasm (although preferably more), you lose all charges.
While falling in love is not taboo to you, it could prove to be a royal pain
and eventually get in the way of your power, or vice versa.
Random Magick Domain: Controlling hormones and other bodily chemicals, which
amounts to triggering passions, desires, minor forms of alterations to minds
and perceptions and – to a minor extent – the pool of the adept's own
physical energy. Also, tearing down any creature's facades and inhibitions
in order to sense its underlying psyche, all hit the spot of Luxuriamancy.
On the downside, Luxuriamancy's random magick is only barely capable of
creating long-lasting effects, and entirely incapable of creating any
permanent effects.
Starting Charges: Luxuriamancers only start off with one minor charge for
one reason or the other, but there are many people around town who can't
wait to get laid. What are you waiting for?
Charging Tips: An attractive and alluring Luxuriamancer who's on a serious
roll in a city will easily score seven minor charges a week, and two
significant charges on top of that. More isolated locations with less
available willing sexual partners will halve that rate (and significant
charges may be an ordeal to rack up), taking into account how the
lustmonkeys will have to spend some charges to attract new partners and
increase their willingness.
Luxuriamancers who have a sex cult following they lead or belong to, or a
swingers club which they own or belong to, may increase the rate at which
they can charge up, perhaps as much as doubling it, unless they are
constantly spending charges to keep that following or the regular club
members or simply attract new sex magick batteries.
Notes: A Luxuriamancer can feign the lack of consent on their own behalf of
the sexual act and still charge up. For instance, a clever lustmonkey could
pretend to be unwillingly getting gang-banged by a football jock team, but
actually be charging up; this would nevertheless qualify as „consensual sex"
if she really does want it and has the jocks fooled.
On the other hand, anybody who's hit by any sort of magick (including any
kind outside of this school's powers) does not qualify as a partner
consenting to sex. Can't fool the cosmos on that one.

WHAT YOU HEAR: THE LUXURIAMANCER
I heard there's this chick in L.A., wears a dominatrix mask and does all
sorts of superhero shit, saving lives and beating up muggers and all that.
You can pay for private sessions with her and get your ass kicked in the
erotic way. Supposedly she hangs out in this fetish club called Gain the
Pain. Heroic chicks make me horny, I'll think twice about that SM stuff now.
Some so-called spiritual people are trying to tell you that having too many
orgasms will power you out and eventually make you impotent, but this was
spawned as a desperate lie, spread in attempt to stall a certain adept from
completely turning a whole city's population into a huge sex cult and
farming grounds for sex magick charges.
