One time I calculated how many grams of spinal cord I have lost because of my syrinxes.

I then made an ink that oxidizes/rusts, and I drew a spinal cord with the idea that as the ink took on oxygen molecules & gained the weight of those molecules, it would be a reverse spell.

(Hi, I don't talk about my ink much here anymore for reasons, but I make inks & papers & scrolls & do a lot of magic with them.)

Friends, after this move, I lost that drawing. I did it on one of my tiny scrolls and ugh.

So I have to start it again.

And recalculate because I have lost more spinal cord since the first one.

But this feels ... much like what I'm dealing with. Therefore, the spell is not ruined. It is enhanced.

Personally, I always find a way for the fuckups to be *part of the magick.*

That said, I am damn curious the weight of that drawing now.

Potential glitch, though: this ink eats paper, so it tends to cause letters/strokes/drawings to fall out eventually. So it will gain that weight but then lose its entire medium.

But hey, that's like the body, too. This body won't go on forever. See! The glitch is the magick.
