Kera/Donovan +1 more

During my most recent rp sessions with Kera, a glimmer of a plot started stirring in my brain.

Though Kera only knows and only does white magick, she knows how to use a fairly powerful mesmerizing spell on people. After Donovan made her mad enough, she had no issue using it on him to get him to do what she wanted.

Power is a powerful temptation, and just because something's not directly harmful doesn't mean it can't be used for a darker purpose.

Kera's justification for using the spell was that she was right, and what she wanted Donovan to do was important. The makings of a perfect villain or antagonist is when they believe they're right.

I'm thinking it could be very interesting to have Kera abusing the control spell on Donovan, but this time with a witness. (Starting out innocently enough, with commands like "Dance a silly dance", or "Say the name of the woman you have a crush on," but then becoming either more cruel, or more against what Donovan clearly would do or say.

A darker-tinged third party could encourage this, either to try and corrupt Kera, or simply to watch Donovan (a powerless human) suffer.

A lighter-tinged character might initially see something funny about what was happening, but would probably start to try and stop the whole thing. (Which could provoke Kera to have a new target.)

Someone who knew Kera from previous plots might very well be very bothered by this aspect of her, especially if they've never seen such a thing like that from her.

I think it has the potential for some nice drama. (And scenes of Donovan abuse, which Kera seemed to get a perverse satisfaction from.)

Orson needs recruits for his side. Lol. I guess, he could be there, encouraging Kera to use the power for darkness, up to you.

Kera and I have to finish up the scene we're working on right now. (and we're theoretically at least a few days out of doing that.)This was me simply floating an idea out there to check the response. I'll holler at you when we get the ball rolling on it. (Assuming Kera's into the idea of doing another scene right after finishing up one with Donovan.)

Wowzerz. This is very interesting. What about if my character Elizabeth had some part in this plot possibly. You know, like finding Kera doing this, and possibly even her evil side, Gwen come out to do something even worse... But it could easily be the oppisite like something went wrong in Kera's mind for a moment while Elizabeth tries to stop her and she could possibly be taken under the same control and/or something worse since she is also part of magical abilities... Just another thing that could help. :]
