"No, it should have driven him wild with lust," Becky refuted Shelly's statement. "Somehow he resisted. My magic is weaker than it should be. I can barely cast any spells at all, and nothing seems to go through those bars."
"I don't think he had enough brain cells to resist any spell, much less that one," Shelly offered. "Do you think he had some kind of protection? Like the Daughters of Respite?"
Becky seemed to consider that for a moment before shaking her head. "No, I didn't even feel the spell take effect. It's as though magic stopped working. The two groups must be working together, though they've rarely trusted one another in the past."
"Is that even possible?" Jessica asked. "Completely stopping magic, that is."
"I don't see why not," Becky offered. "I mean, the Daughters are able to make themselves all but immune. It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that the Knights might be able to block magic in a certain area."
