Conjuration 23: High Enchantment

I woke up thoroughly exhausted from the previous day at work and loathed the possibility that I would be assigned to the same project. Reluctant to simply call out sick, I dragged my ass out of bed, got ready, and started to head out the door. As I was leaving, the thought of using magick to engineer my daily assignment crossed my mind, and I paused to consider what juju could be worked in less than 15 minutes.

Without a clear idea of what I was doing, I began focusing on the physical sensation of my frustration, the frenzy of resentment stirring inside me. I took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly while imagining that these feelings were being pushed directly out of my chest, flowing forward and coalescing into an amorphous mass suspended several feet in front of me. I did this again several more times and imagined the hovering mass gradually taking the form of a translucent orb with each expiration.

Once I felt that all of the frustration had been completely expelled from my body, I began to see images of myself within the orb, scenes depicting me working on a less laborious project at work. At that moment, I also began to sense the orb’s density and felt its weight increasing as the motion picture occurring within it became clearer. I soon realized that I could no longer hold it there in front of me, at which time I simply let it fall straight down through the floor, which caused an imagined ripple in the fabric of my reality as if I had dropped a heavy stone into a body of still water. I immediately felt an odd sense of relief and headed off to work shortly thereafter.

Upon arriving, I took my seat along with my colleagues and waited to receive my assignment for the day. No sooner than I did, KB turned to me and asked if I wanted to switch assignments with her. My eyes widened, and before I could respond, she told me that she had already seen the assignment sheet, that it was the same as yesterdays, and that our supervisor had already approved the switch. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and I immediately accepted her offer without question.
