Talk:Bondage witch

Power Origin: Alternate Ideas
Not all Bondage Witches are "Witches," per say; some receive their power from what they would call a higher calling. These Bondage Witches remain equally as dangerous as any "arcane" Bondage Witch, and demand the same amount of respect as their "sisters."
Divine
Divine power is the power of the deities, spirits, and otherworldly essences that exist alongside the mortal races. A Cleric or Shaman worships these forces, doing their bidding in exchange for power.
But not all worshipers retain a pure and chaste relationship with their deity; indeed many deities require self-bondage or ritualistic nudity as part of their worship. Still others find themselves spontaneously gaining a connection to an patron deity in response to some form of submissive behavior.
Worshipers of these deities find themselves forced to take on increasingly subservient and restrictive modes of dress in order to facilitate the connections they make with their deity, as their deity becomes increasingly less interested in their antics.
The most powerful of these worshipers find themselves having to spend their entire lives naked and bound, often in the height of sexual frustration, just to keep their patron gods' favor -- in return they are gifted with fabulous powers, rivaling any mage or "traditional" priestess.
Druidic
Druidic magic is the magic of nature, of wild, primordial forces. Some druidic sects embrace these forces, leading to stories of "wild women" living in the woods, far from civilization.
In the most extreme cases, these wild women can find their very humanity slipping away from them, their civilized behavior being replaced with an instinctual animalistic ferocity. These "feral" druids become literal forces of nature in more ways than one, their powers greatly enhanced by the spirit of nature that fills them.
However, these druids often neglect the realization that domesticated animals, such as the dog or cow, are in every sense a natural animal as well. Worse, if these "feral" druids are captured in some way it is a trivial act to break, train, and domesticate them as if they were a mere beast, replacing the feral spirit inside them with the passive, submissive instincts of a dog, cat, horse or cow.
These "domesticated" druids find their conscious minds buried under a submissive passiveness these new instincts force upon them, being unbound except by a collar, fully in control of their immense druidic powers, but unable to do anything but act like the pet animal spirit they embody. Their very powers betray them; the mere presence of a domesticated druid is enough to ensure good harvests and fair weather for any farm, for as long as the druid remains bound.
Domesticated druids are a valued commodity in the more rural areas of the world, and fetch an amazing price to any hunter lucky enough to capture and tame one.
