Auka getu

Spell of the Day

Auka getu is a second level transmutation with an instant casting time, a duration of an hour, a range of touch, and a material requirement of animal hair.

This spell works with either the hair of a bear or bull. If bull hair is the casting material, the target receives enhanced strength. The fur of a bear brings extended endurance.

For example, a person can normally bench press one-hundred pounds, ten times before exhaustion. With the gift of the bear, they could lift the same weight twice as many times. The power of the bull would allow them to raise twice the mass with the same repetitions. Research has found the spell ineffective with any other animal hair or bird feather.

The physiological effects are localized to the muscle fibers and do not affect the bones. Athletes with more than above average muscle mass should take caution with this spell as they could cause a muscle to tear away from attachments or the added weight could crush bones.

Auka getu is illegal for professional athletes. Most sporting events are covered in anti-magic spheres to prevent cheating. But there is one sporting event which is too large to covers with anti-magic as it spans over two-thousand miles, the Tour de France. In 2012, after the discovery that auka getu had been used extensively by his coaches, Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

The most common use of auka getu is in entry-level jobs requiring manual labor.
