Negative Enhancement

  Just an idea. The idea of negative enhancement may seem like something you cast on your enemies at first, not something that you could use on yourself. It's giving something the effect that we see as negative - like reducing your capacity for reason, making you sad, or angry, or unlucky, sick, etc etc. So why cast those negative traits on yourself? The example I'll use is enchanting a small object that you carry on you like a ring, rock, or necklace to have that negative effect affect you when you have it in your pocket or wear it. So imagine you enchanted it with shortening your temper and making you angry. Because you're on a permanent roid rage you'll have to find ways to recognize and control your anger in order to stop it negatively affecting your life and relationships.

  The point is to increase your baseline of self control. When the negatively enhanced object is removed, you're even more calm and controlled than you would be normally. It's the same idea as physical exercise. You get worse, then during recovering (by exerting your self-control) you overcompensate and are even better than when you started. The idea is the same regardless of the effect, in that it improves you and makes you more resistant to the negative effect you casted in the first place. Because who likes playing life on easy mode?

  Here's a primer.. restricting yourself is simple.. think the restriction and that it applies to you. Then you get the effect by a statement. That statement is 'Done' or something similar. To unrestrict yourself, think your 'unrestricted'. Then make a statement of a similar word to that regard.
