Balance is kept

Mandy lowered her arms tentatively after the dancing lights had gone. At first she didn’t notice anything wrong, but then she felt a slight draft against her bare skin. Looking absolutely horrified she slapped her arms down over her body, trying to hide her nakedness. With a high pitched shriek she turned and ran out from Andrew’s room. An awkward silence hung in the room, save for the sound of Velus’ wagging tail. “Sorry, I can’t control it,” he said apologetically when Fred gave him a stern look.

For Andrew the day was just getting more and more surreal. He wondered if Mandy was going to blame him for this when she got over it. He wondered if maybe all this was a dream after all. He wondered when Mandy had gotten that tattoo on her butt.

Exotica was mortified. “I swear to you, this was not what I intended! That spell was merely meant to reproduce…”

She was interrupted by a small flash of light and a tightened feeling around her pelvic area. Everybody in the room looked in surprise at the pair of panties that Exotica were suddenly wearing outside her pants. At that moment another scream was heard through the open door. Fred reacted first and dashed out of the room with his sword drawn but stopped in the hallway, not knowing where the scream had originated from. Andrew darted past him ran and to Mandy’s room, followed by the others. Mandy had locked her door.

“Sis! What happened!”

There was no answer, but a second later there was another flash around Exotica and she found herself wearing to pairs of panties outside her pants. It was getting uncomfortable. Mandy screamed again. “Stop it! Stop taking my clothes!”

By now Exotica understood what was happening. She stood beside Andrew and called through the door. “I am truly sorry. I did not meant for it, but it seems that my spell is causing any garment you don to appear on me instead. But don’t worry, I will cast a counter spell.”

There was a pause before an answer came from the other side of the door. “Bloody well do that!”

Exotica turned to the others and talked in a lowered voice. “Listen, I have already used a lot of magic today and I’m feeling a bit tired. That might be why these latest spells haven’t worked correctly. History has many accounts of wizards and magicians who bring down ruin over themselves by trying to exceed their limitations. I’m going to cast a counter spell, but after that I don’t think I should try any more until I have recuperated properly.”

Fred looked hesitant. “If you are right about this, wouldn’t it be unwise to try a counter spell until you have rested? You might make things worse.”

Exotica shook her head and waved her hand dismissively. “A simple spell like this will be easy to counter.” She wanted to prove, both to herself and the others, that she could do this right. Lifting her arms and starting to shimmy, she incantated “Dluohs ouy erehw eb, sehtolc!”

1. The counter spell seems to work correctly... at first at least
2. To late Exotica realizes that Fred was right.
3. But before Exotica can finish Fred grabs her arms to stop her.
