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.

Petrus,
Yes, I was dealing with strong Saturnian energies at that time...*sigh* and I will take your recomendations to heart...Thank You! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/i_triangle.gif)
But, again, I have/had no wish to hijack Barnards posting with my own experiment. I was merely, anecdotally, trying to elucidate what can happen during our experiments in the way of side effects or totally new results! I'm still interested in Barnards experiment despite the misdirection of intent with my anecdote. Thanks Petrus! You've given me food for thought! Perhaps you'd like to collab with me on a new device? PM me if you're interested. Now, let's try to reestablish topic here! *grin* and let Barnard have his say!

PS: Please accept my apologies towards your Wiccan friend Barnard. It was not a friendly but an irritated response on my part! We've had discussions both here and on other 'Forums' regarding Theriomorphs and various formulae that help to promote transition towards 'norms' achieving shapeshifting. One time-honored traditional way was to 'Send forth the Fetch'. Basically it involves transferring conciousness into a prepared astral shell fashioned to resemble an animal form. (that's an extremely abbreviated scenario and should only be attempted by experienced travellers...) The problem that occurs is that form following function and vice versa...if you maintain this form you eventually lose your human identity...whether it is merely psychological or physical...or both! My original suggestions as to source material was not partaking of this method! One of our own members has established her own Forum and website that has in it a group of lycans/theriomorphs. I don't know if she still maintains the Forum. You may PM me for the link(s). In a feeble defense of my behavior regarding your friend Barnard, I have to deal with a rising tide of 'vampires' and 'werewolves' wannabes generated from Hollywoods Twilight movies. *disgust* It was an over-reaction on my part!
