New Theory On Activating Great Power, Harnessing or Re-directing Fear (tell me if this has been done before) Options

I know I tend to come up with theories here and there about great magical power, and I think I'm onto something with them, though I still don't have all the details.

Here's the news:

When I first signed up here, I was talking about a one time occurrance of using magic to escape muggers as a child, by involunterily harnessing the tremendous energy of mortal fear. Every time since then that I was exposed to anything that would cause me fear, I would try to harness the energy again for confirmation.

Unfortunately, doing so seemed to drain the effect. In simple terms, attempting that removed my sensation of fear.

But here's something I should have noticed.

The times that I was in danger the most was when I used to be working at a gas station.

People at the least expected times would try to rob me. And this store was a 1-man shift. - Only one employee in the store at a time. Small place.

These seemed like the perfect times to harness that energy. But instead of me being scared, it was the gunmen themselves that fled in terror.

I couldn't make sense of it until recently. Each time that someone had tried to rob me, I redirected the fear they attempted to instill in me right back at them.

Are there are records of this kind of thing happening in magical society

Also, on another note, a wiccan friend wants to know the incantation to become a werewolf. She says it has something to do with scratching one's back, partnership and chanting. She doesn't recall the words. Any responses or insight would be much appreciated.

Are you serious? You seriously believe you can ask a forum about turning into a werewolf and get results?

You're full of win.
