Ch7 02
Now that is what I call a curse! Endless temptation with an ultimate consequence! Naturally, if anyone can see the positive of this impediment, it’s the ever narcissistic Magnus. Melinda seems to know that she has Magnus on a tight leash – so to speak, so I guess it’s perfectly alright…
Then again… What was with the cover of the chapter if this is the case? Has Magnus found a way around his wife’s control? Is Hasera worth losing his two best friends? (And I don’t mean the ones in the Winnebago!) What are your theories? I’d love to know!

Well, that is harsh
Is the balls exploding part of the curse, or is it mostly a “curse” because his wife is scarier than Hera?
Oh, Lo’Ani did nothing to prevent Magnus from fulfilling his every desire – it just so happened that the very next day he was dragged back to The Order because it was revealed that he had impregnated Melinda and she would have exactly none of any of Magnus’ playboying about…
One has to wonder – did Lo’Ani know this would happen?
Might be a case of Lo’Ani knowing that it inevitably WOULD happen that Magnus would get involved with somebody powerful enough to keep him on a proverbial leash.
Mind you, if Magnus was dragged back the very next day, this doesn’t require prescience on Lo’Ani’s part because presumably Melinda was already pregnant. It would just require Lo’Ani to be aware that Melinda was pregnant to predict the rest… and I suspect Lo’Ani has ways of knowing who’s pregnant and by who if she wants to (and possibly even if she doesn’t).
Prfffffff 🤣 this is so funny. Now I wonder what will happen with the cover scene!
Perfect use of that Spaceballs quote, well done!
Hasera is not a happy camper in the scene on the cover page. I think she walked in on something, and when Magnus peacocked, Hass demonstrated the curse doesn’t work on her anymore. Either knowledge of the curse disperses it, or Lark’s heavy-handed handling of her knocked it out of her. Magnus’ best friends aren’t in any danger from Hass; doesn’t mean he’s not an idiot anyway.
No one else is going to ask the obvious question? No, not ‘dark meat or light?’
The real question: what happens after his balls explode? o_O
I’m going to guess a lot of screaming, some crying, and excessive bleeding in the crotch area that needs immediate medical attention to prevent dying of blood loss. Followed by more crying.
Well Magnus that what happens when you aren’t careful. So is Melinda that curse for you. Beautiful women throw themselves at you, and she is there ready to make the boys explode if you even lay a hand on one. She seems like the jealous type and the vengeful type.
The story on how Melidna and Magnus hooked up is… fraught with wrongness. She originally used a spell to disguise herself to save her friend from having a one-night stand with this jerk she just met, but wound up sleeping with him because he was genuinely okay… Then she found out she had a bun in the oven and decided that his playboy days were at an end.
I wonder if Melinda has some kind of magical birth control? 🤔
Plot twist: the leg we saw for the cover wasn’t Magnus at all, but his wife.
The real question is would his wife be more hazardous to his health than Hass herself?
He could always get an elective surgical castration, thereby avoiding the explosive … and hence possibly fatal … consequences. It is a common misconception that castration precludes a male from attaining an erection; untrue, it just prevents conceiving progeny.
The simple act of groping another woman would cause Magnus to be in a world of pain unbeknownst to mankind.
Whether or not he’d conceive children is beside the point on this one 😛
Errr, preventing conception is a purely a side effect. His balls can’t explode if he doesn’t have any. I’n not talking about tying off the tubes, I am talking about total removal.
Ever hear of ‘Phantom Limb Syndrome’? Bad enough when it’s your amputated foot that has an itch, imagine it’s your castrated balls that feel like they have been crushed in a vice
