I am interested in hearing from people, especially witches, who can describe distinct benefits they have noticed to being part of a Bond.

Emotional aspects or friendships formed are less of a concern. Tell me of more practical things. Advantages or improvements you have personally experienced.

I think you should gt a bond. IF... you plan on practicing ltos of magic. The benefits the Coven warns you of are true.

Then you believe there is demonstrable benefit on the use of magic.

[ Arguably her weakness when it comes to the argument against bonding. She does want to be every bit as comfortable and capable with her abilities here as she was in her own world. ]

What have you noticed?

Welllllll it sure does make it easier. That was the life! Casting magic's easy as pie when you're Bonded. And I've even heard that dpending on the Monster, you get some boosts. If you want to specialize in gruesome and gorey illusions (or just regular illusions), Bond with a Fae. They're pretty and fun, with their antennae and mischievousness! Bondwith a Turnskin for Transmutation, I bet. Turnskins are one of m ypersonal favorites, since they can turn into animals! What's not to like?

But if you have a Bond, you also wont hallucinate, if you dont already. If you doo well youll do it worse. If you remain without a Bond, you might not be able to sleep,either. It's super fun, if you thrive on mental instability! Then comes the part where yoy go KABOOM. don''t think any of us have had that happen YET, but...

[ Text may be a difficult medium for conveying tone, but this person still strikes her as a bit too positive about it all. ]

Interesting. You have tried all of these bonds yourself?

[ Potentially useful information, although thinking of multiple bonds appeals even less. ]

I prefer keeping my wits about me and having all of my organs in their proper place, but so far I have been just fine.

no worries, I hope you're feeling better!

No. I've only Bonded with a Vamprie, once. But I really like Monsters, so I read about them as much as I can. I bet there are properties yet undiscovered, especially if the individual Monster is to be considered. There might be a Dragonwith special properties that lend itself well to mind control spells... Spooky!

It starts to get harder a few months in. The more you do magic by yourself, the harder itgets. So you dont have to make any hasty decisions, but if you wanna keep your head firmy on your shoulders and not lobbed off in crazytown, consider a Bond. ok?
