So I recently remembered a tracklist that I put together with some friendly people for us to eventually make spells out of each one of them.
Unfortunately the original effort to do so kinda died down a good several months ago, but hey there was some music in there that I hand't listened to before and the song titles were really interesting, so I thought to myself "Hey, why don't I use some of these to make more spells. Maybe even complete this as my version of a spell list based on these tracks."
And that is what I'd like to present to you all today, another spell made from that tracklist. The spell in question is based on a track titled "I Don’t Want to Drink Tea So Tasteless That Even the Intent to Kill Will Not Come to Mind While Drinking" by Keiji Haino, Jim O’Rourke and Oren Ambarchi.
For those interested in checking it out, here's a youtube link.
(This is the second spell out of the tracklist by now, the last one can be found here.)
Camillia Sinensis, Tea (Russian) by Sue Snell - Wellcome Collection, United Kingdom - CC BY. https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/9200579/x85czpnv |

- The magical ward was faulty, the power evoced found an imperfection in it and managed to slip in through the cracks. Whoever drinks of this tea for the first time will find the magi's chosen power pouring in a fraction of itself into them, turning the drinker into a puppet for the evoced power to act through in the physical world.
- Not content with just one person to share the moment with, the power evoced in preparing the brew compells the magi to partake in the drink whenever they serve it to someone.
Disposing of the drink if there are still servings of it left would risk upsetting the power evoced in it's preparation. - Something went wrong with the preparation of the brew, either the evocation was a total failure or the process had a flaw in it. Whatever the case, the magi has only managed to procure common poison rather than a concoction that would sever one's consciousness from their body momentarily.
- The evocation wasn't a one-sided commanding of the chosen power, instead it set it's own condition. The magi is made aware that the prepared batch of tea must be all served as a lavish tea party, one serving per guest, if they wish to keep on the good side of the power they had chosen to evoce.
- The tea works as intended as far as the magi or anyone in the physical world is concerned. However, the consciousness of whoever partakes of the brew is whisked away to wherever the evoced power may lay. Depending on the type of power evoced, meeting it may result in anything from the collapse of one's psyche to a pleasant conversation with it for a short while.
- In addition to becoming entirely tasteless, the tea takes on a foul and muddy colour and slightly acrid smell.
