Essence of theLewd Archmage

By drinking this strange-tasting potion from what looks like the most generic 'magic potion' bottle you've ever seen, you gain an unparalleled talent for all magical arts.

• First, you get a one-time alteration to your appearance, idealizing you to the peak of humanity. This is a side-effect, however. The true effect of this is changing you metaphysically to give you a spark of magic. You can now learn any form of magic, provided that you are exposed to it somehow, whether that be by visiting the world it is from, or a user of it tutoring you. Your inner spark of magic will also work as a 'universal energy' when it comes to various magical styles and systems, allowing you to substitute it for things such as chakra, mana, ki, prana, od, etc. You can also easily combine the various forms of magic you encounter with a small amount of research.

• You have no real need to go out and seek magic, for any reason other than curiosity, or to speed up your own studies. This is because just by focusing on it, testing it, and practicing with it, you can develop and improve your own magical abilities. You cannot do absolutely everything from the beginning, but right from the start you can rapidly and quickly gain a basic level of proficiency in any magical discipline you can imagine. So long as you can imagine it, you can easily learn the basics of a 'generic' form of magic.

• By focusing, you can turn these talents towards rapid improvement. Whether this be focused on the particular spell itself, or the discipline in general doesn't matter, though focusing on a specific spell will show faster and greater results far quicker than if you spread your focus. This improvement applies to any spell you know, allowing you to easily discern flaws and downsides to magic you know, and to correct them. The more you focus your attention to something magical, the more progress you'll make on it, and you'll never hit a point where further focus does *nothing*.

• Of course, just because there's less reason to go out and learn magic, due to having your own, doesn't mean there's *no* reason. Direct observation of a spell being cast will MASSIVELY increase your knowledge of that spell, and related concepts. Watching it once or twice is usually even enough for you to either know how to cast it yourself, or to at the very least create a variant of it yourself. One key benefit to doing so is that gaining inspiration from other magics you encounter, you will gain far more understanding far faster than if you were to just research and focus your attention on it yourself.

• In addition to all of this, your innate creativity and ability to learn in general has been significantly enhanced, and you have also gained a perfect memory, albeit one that doesn't store knowledge that will actually harm you, granting you an immunity to cognitohazards, memetic effects, and eldritch madness-inducing shenanigans.

• But more than anything else, when you turn your already considerable magical talents towards lewd ends, your talents and skills are magnified immensely by your degenerate desires. Potions you create, spells you cast, equipment you enchant, all of it will have far greater effects when a lewd or otherwise erotic component is added, or is the primary purpose of the spell.

• E.G.

• An 'Armour Destruction Spell' will be vastly stronger and more effective on a target that you actually want to see naked.

• An 'Aphrodisiac Potion' will last longer and be more intense than an equivalent non-sexual poison.

• A sexy toy or piercings enchanted to give it's wearer additional stats will be far more beneficial than a regular enchanted set of armour.

• A set of armor you enchant will perform far better, even moreso than regular armor, if it's something 'sexy' and attractive.

• A Space-Warping spell will bypass great defenses when done to surreptitiously stick your dick in someone.

• Of course, this doesn't weaken any of your magical capabilities, it just means that if you indulge your degeneracy, your magic will be far, far better. This even extends to your learning, when you learn and experiment in lewd ways, or for lewd purposes, your rate of learning is greatly improved.

• E.G.

• Learning Destructive Evocations will go much faster when driven by your hatred of clothes hiding alluring bodies.

• Learning Mental Alteration Spells will come to you far quicker if done for the purposes of hypnotising your sexy classmates at Wizard School.

• Practicing Enchantment will reveal deeper secrets of the art just by engaging in it for the purposes of creating a set of legendary 'Bikini Armour'.

• Researching Alchemical Potions will result in piecing together information easier if done for the goal of creating an aphrodisiac that can pierce powerful defenses.

• Trying to search for ways to travel dimensions will go far smoother and far faster when driven by your incredible devotion to your most favorite Waifu.

• Lastly, magic itself, while not always 'alive', so to speak, in every setting you visit, will innately shy away from harming you. A truly driven caster of magic can 'force' it, but any magic that is levied against you will be far weaker, at least by half. In addition, magical creatures will be more comfortable in your presence, and more receptive to any flirtatious advances you make towards them. All of this is amplified when done towards the incarnation of a setting's magic, who is all but putty in your hands, if you make the attempt.
