Augmentation spell was a spell that altered reality, including the memories and perceptions of its inhabitants. The spell turned the caster into a paragon, the best of everything, and only them would be aware of the changes. However, to balance the new force of good, the spell also created a monster as an opposing force of evil.[1]
History[]
Jonathan Levinson cast an augmentation spell in 2000, having learned it from someone at therapy sessions he had attended since his suicide attempt the previous year. As a result of the spell, Jonathan became the paragon of everyone's ideal qualities, and fame, fortune, and universal admiration followed.[1] In this reality, he had the following accomplishments:
- Skilled vampire hunter, leader of the Scooby Gang.[1]
- Skilled chess player.[1]
- Skilled marksman.[1]
- Ability to sing and play the trumpet. He released at least one album and performed at the Bronze with Royal Crown Revue.[1]
- Had his own cereal, Jonnie O's.[1]
- Wrote an autobiography, Oh, Jonathan.[1]
- Had the website Jonathan.com.[1]
- Had the Target: Jonathan comics based on him.[1]
- Released the Jonathan Swimsuit Calendar.[1]
- Had a movie based on him called Being Jonathan Levinson.[1]
- Fronted an ad campaign for a pair of sneakers, using the slogan "Light as a feather."[1]
- Tactical consultant to the Initiative, finding the weak point of Adam: his uranium 235 core.[1]
- Invented the Internet.[1]
- Starred in The Matrix without ever leaving town.[1]
- Was a medical school graduate at eighteen years old.[1]
- Crushed the bones of the Master[1] (actually Buffy Summers).[2]
- Blew up Richard Wilkins after his Ascension[1] (actually Giles).[3]
- Coached the U.S. national women's soccer team to a World Cup victory in 1999.[1]
- Received the Class Protector Award[1] (actually Buffy).[4]
- Lived in a mansion in Sunnydale along with a pair of attractive twins, Ilsa and Inga.[1]
Adam, due to his unique self-awareness as a bio-mechanical demonoid, was aware of the alteration of reality. Buffy grew suspicious of one person accomplishing so much. Jonathan reluctantly assisted Buffy in killing the Monster the spell had created and thus breaking the augmentation. The posters around Sunnydale instantaneously changed back to their previous ads, and people mostly forgot about it.[1]
Requirements[]
The augmentation spell required the caster to scar themselves with a mark, which was also bore by the Monster. The death of either the caster or the balancing creature would break the spell, undoing the reality alterations and restoring the memories of those affected by the spell.[1]
