Heart and flesh (KYP T300)

Content note: coercive, non-consensual "love" magic.

…so that as soon as I give them ⟨to⟩ NN [and] she eats or drinks from them, you will bind her heart and her flesh for me for all time …

A love spell that works the way a parasite does: slipped into food, swallowed, and meant to rule the body from inside. It belongs on the shelf beside our Devil as a warning. Wanting to own someone is the oldest infection there is.
