Title: Power Rating: G Prompt: Addiction Summary: Thom tries out a new spell.
He could feel the magic building up in his hands and spilling out around him. The air grew hotter and heavier, a weight pressing down on him. The pressure built, becoming stronger and stronger until finally he could hold it no longer, and he shouted the incantation. His rooms shook for a moment, and then dust flew out, blinding him. When his eyes cleared, the frog that had been sitting on his table was now a rat. Rats weren’t particularly exciting, but the knowledge of what he had done was intoxicating. It felt incredible to know that he had so much power. Lord Thom of Trebond smiled to himself, and did it again.

Great use of the prompt! I particularly liked how something so small could lead to something so great

The last line of this is so very Thom, and a perfect example of addiction- I love how you emphasized that it wasn't the act itself, but the sense of power he got from completing it, that caught him up.
