The old duchess opened her eyes. She had been in immense pain. The last thing she remembered was that the wizard had strapped her to a chair. Then the buzzing...

She felt a surge of strength in her arms and legs, and other limbs she wasn't aware she had. She remembered being old and decrepit, and willing to pay any amount of money to be young and beautiful again.
