The growth spell was an often overlooked low-level spell. Most witches and wizards learnt it as their first status-effect spell then moved on to more useful ones, this was because the spell would give you at most a few inches of extra height. The magical drain of the spell meant that even the most powerful spellcasters could only hold it for a few minutes at most.
So you were really surprised when Britney, your classmate of the last 18 years, told you she'd chosen the growth spell to be her elite. When a student of this magical school set in an ancient castle graduated, they could choose a spell to be bound to them as their elite. This would allow you to use your bound spell with less of a cost. You knew Britney liked the growth spell, she'd often used it to tower over you temporarily as a way to tease you, but to bind it as her elite seemed like a waste. She was a smart and promising magic user with so much potential, you'd have thought she would choose something more sophisticated but she was insistent.
"Did you know, no-one has ever bound it as their elite before?" she'd said as you were queuing for your graduation.
"So what? You'll be taller for a bit longer and that's it." you replied - stating the obvious. She just shimmied her petite body in response.
"I know - that's all I want. I love staring down on people, even if its just for a few minutes. A few minutes more would be heavenly."
"It just seems a bit of a waste, you could do..." but you stopped short when you heard her name called. You watched as she hurried up on the stage, shook the Archchacellor's hand and told him the spell she wanted bound. The Archchacellor looked at her quizzically but when she confirmed her choice he performed the incantation on her. It was over in seconds, she bowed in thanks and walked back to join you behind the stage again. You were in for a wait, each year 1000s of students would graduate the magical school, so you were glad when she came back to keep you company.
"Are you going to try it out?" you asked.
"Should I?" she replied excitedly. "Ok." She shut her eyes, murmured the incantation and shot up from 5ft to 6ft. She looked down and inspected herself.
"Interesting, the effect seems to be slightly amplified with it being my elite now."
"How long do you think you can hold it?"
"I'm not sure."
You both waited, and waited. 15 minutes had past with no signs of the effect wearing off.
"Hmmmm." she said to herself after a while.
"What?" you enquired.
"Well, I think being bigger has increased my magical restoration to the point where it is now outpacing the lowered-drain of the spell."
It took you a moment to understand what she'd said, then another moment to work out the implications.
"So that means you can stay big indefinitely and still regen magic?"
"That's right! It also means all my magic is now amplified since I'm slightly bigger now."
"Huh." was all you could respond. You knew she was soon going to make you eat your words about it being a waste.
You saw her shut her eyes again and repeat the incantation - she now shot up to 10ft.
"Oh wow, yes!" she exclaimed. Her growth turned a few heads but there were plenty of graduates trying out their new elites nearby to keep people distracted.
"It looks like the spell stacks!" she beamed down at you. "You know, I'm the first person to have multiple growth effects on them. Who knows what's possible?"
She shut her eyes again.
"No wait!" you yelled but she repeated the spell again before you could stop her and shot up to over 20ft. More heads were turning to her now as she inspected herself with a huge grin on her face.
"Surely you can't hold that size for long?"
"Oh, that's the beauty of it little one." she teased you, "Every time I grow my magical restoration grows more than the cost of the spell."
You suddenly realised what that meant - every time she grew the cost of the spell practically decreased for her. She could keep doing this indefinitely. She saw you were working it out.
"You know what the best bit is? That each time I get bigger the affect of spells increases with me - so each growth spell will make the next one more potent."
Just as you were busy realising that she would be getting bigger at an increasing rate she performed the spell again. Now, at over 50ft tall, she cooed with pleasure.
Britney was now to the roof of the great hall and there was no way she could grow any more without causing serious damage to the castle but it looked like she didn't care and was about to cast again when the voice of the Archchancellor echoed through the back stage.
"I don't know what's going on back there but take it outside!" The was a strong smell of magic then you suddenly found yourself outside, along with several of the other students and Britney.
"He teleported me?! How dare he teleport me?!" she boomed, you noticed her size had amplified her voice.
"Well he is the Archchancellor." You were about to make a point about how he was the most powerful magic user before stopping yourself - was that true any more? Britney was a novice compared to his decades of experience but her growth-backed increase in magical potential may have put her ahead.
You heard one of the other students teleported with you moaning "I didn't even do anything! I'm going to miss my graduation thanks to you, you big dumb bitch!"
This was the wrong thing to say. Suddenly he was lifted into the air by forces unseen. You recognised it as a form of telekinesis spell but had never seen one strong enough to lift a person so high. The little student was suspended in front of Britney's face.
"What did you say?" she snarled at him.
"I said eat this!" he cried casting a fireball at her. You saw her cast diamond skin in an instant - an incredibly high-level and hard to maintain spell which made the caster's skin impervious to all physical and magical attacks. The fireball impacted harmlessly into it.
"How about I eat this?" quipped Britney before grabbing the student out of the air, opening her maw and cramming him in. She was savouring his struggles and cries when another of the teleported students next to you whispered in horror.
"That was his elite - and it was useless against her. I'm going to cast invisibility and run - want to join me?"
"Sounds good." you replied knowing you needed to get out of here.
While Britney was distracted swallowing the student, and obviously enjoying it, your new friend started casting the invisibility spell - but you were all distracted by a huge flash of light followed by a warm gale. You looked up and saw Britney engulfed in a whirlwind of fire. Someone in the castle must have seen Britney devour the student and had sounded the alarm. You thought for a moment you wouldn't need to run till the whirlwind subsided. Britney was still stood there, 50ft tall and now mostly naked. The diamond skin spell must have still been active and protected her, but not her dress. You marvelled at how powerful she must have been to maintain such a high-level spell for so long.
"Oh, you want something to look at?" she shouted at the castle in reference to the destruction of her dress, "Well look at this."
She then started to incant a spell you'd heard many girls at the school try - the fertility spell. It was supposed to give you curves, bigger breasts and a bigger butt but as far you knew no one ever managed to fulfil the spell due to its high level. There were probably only a few magic users powerful enough to use it and no doubt they weren't interested in something as shallow as looks. But Britney pulled it off without a hitch, her body bulging out in every direction - especially her chest and ass. You could understand why it was called the fertility spell now given her ample curves but wondered if the spell would normally do this much to someone or had her huge size amplified it?
She was moaning in pleasure exploring her new body, even the projectiles raining down on her from the castle didn't distract her. She must have thrown all sorts of protections on herself already as you saw status-breaking spells and mind-control attempts fail continuously on her. She was dangerously powerful, then you heard her, almost absent-mindedly in her pleasure, start murmuring the growth spell again. You turned back to your fellow student.
"Forget the invisibility, lets just run!"
As you ran you heard what sounded like a non-stop firework show occasionally drowned out by Britney's laughs. You'd heard her murmur the growth spell a few more times and didn't want to turn round to see how big she'd gotten. You and the other student had decided to run to the other side of the castle to put it, and all its magic users, between her and you. You were descending the hill on the far side when you heard her cast the growth spell again. There was a series of quakes as you guessed she approached the castle.
You heard her voice booming down from above, "You know, that first little student taught me that you tiny witches and wizards can be quite tasty - so I'd like to sample a few more of you."
Suddenly your fellow escapee was pulled into the air. You turned to see where he was going to see Britney standing over the castle - now beyond any height you could guess. Students and teachers alike were being pulled into the air by her, many were fighting back casting projectiles and lightning at her colossal body but she didn't even seem to notice. Many were pulled straight into her mouth but you saw some being directed into her regions below which she rubbed with one hand while massaging her humongous breasts with the other. You noticed the attacks from the school had stopped, they must have surrendered to her. It made sense, at her size - and with her magical potential - she could cast a simple fireball and turn the castle into a crater. You were about to turn and continue running when her eyes fixed on you.
"Going somewhere?" her voice rumbled as you felt yourself frozen in place. "You haven't graduated yet. It would be my honour to bestow your chosen elite on you, after all, I guess I'm the Archchancellor now." She said this last part laughing maniacally with her hands in such a way which emphasised her enormous size and power.
You wondered if she'd let you choose the growth spell to be your elite too.
Meta: I've been on a bit of a Britney Elizabeth spree recently. This is another instance of me having a story ready in my head first - and then making a collage to go with it.
