From the author:
This queer erotic fantasy novel has a kink-based magic system, and as such, contains explicit adult content. As this story crosses a wide range of kinks of varying degrees of intensity, applicable chapters will have a description at the top showing what type of play is included in the chapter as well as any other applicable warnings.
Welcome to the Crux— Abjuration: The school of magic that blocks, banishes, or protects. Casting methods include rope bondage, domination, and submission.
Introduction to Evocation— Evocation: The school of magic that taps into and manipulates energy. Casting methods include impact play, sensation play, and pain play.
Diving Into Divination— Divination: The school of magic that can discern the truths of the past, present, or future. Casting methods include full sensory deprivation, body worship, and edging.
Playing Assistant— While casting, a wizard is not constrained to any one school. Some of the most effective spells come from combining casting methods. Combining elements of abjuration, evocation, and enchantment can create powerful and effective spells.
Creating a Conjuration— Conjuration: The school of magic that creates matter out of thin air. Casting methods include periods of chastity and masturbation.
Courage and Corpimancy— Corpimancy: The school of magic that controls the forces of life, death, and healing. Casting methods include piercing and bloodplay.
Training in Transmutation— Transmutation: The school of magic that transforms and modifies
matter. Casting methods include objectification and role-playing such as pony play.
Breakthrough— Longer periods of sensory deprivation in the silver can potentially increase the chances of a successful divining. Please note that this chapter contains mentions of rape.
Revelations— Please note that this chapter contains brief mentions of sexual assault.
On the Road— Illusion: The school of magic that controls and manipulates the senses. Casting methods include sensory play and deprivation.
The Cave— Wizards of the Crux base all of their magical studies and practices around the concept of consent. Rape or coercion are anathema and grounds for immediate expulsion. Please note that this chapter contains allusions to rape, brief visual of sexual assault, mention of non-consensual drugging and brief violence.
Target— Enchantment: The school of magic that can entrance or beguile others. Casting methods include humiliation, degradation, and other forms of mental manipulation.
