I've been reflecting on the strange intimacy of casting healing magic. There's a raw vulnerability to it—placing your hands on a companion's bare skin, feeling their pulse quicken as your mana flows into their wounds. It's not sexual, not exactly, but it's profoundly intimate in a way that makes my heart race. I can still feel the phantom sensation of Chilchuck's ribs under my palms from last week's incident, the way his breathing steadied as the tissue knit itself back together.

Which, of course, got me thinking about other kinds of touch. There's something about using these hands for pleasure instead of pain that fascinates me. The thought of wrapping my fingers around a hard cock, feeling it throb as I work it slowly, or pressing my mouth to a woman's cunt and tasting her arousal... it's all just another form of magic, really. An exchange of energy, of trust, of life.

The ancient texts never mention this connection, of course. Too undignified. But I've come to believe that healing magic and sexual intimacy spring from the same primal source—the desperate, beautiful need to connect with another living being.
