How can an abortion cause infertility in a witch?












3














Orgone is the natural life energy of the cosmos and the lifeforce which allows the body to function. It is used to perform spells, and constantly regenerates after use at different rates for an individual. When a child is concieved, a witch's orgone is used as fuel to nourish the fetus and help it grow. The bigger the child gets, the more orgone is needed from the witch. Her magical abilities are limited during this time, as her life energy is being sapped to create the new soul.



During the third trimester, a witch can use a ritual which aborts her pregnancy uses the remains of the resonant soul to form a mystical unborn. These pitiful creatures are malformed, misshapen fetuses made with half a soul. They are caught in an intangible state between life and death which float and hover over their creator, and serve as spies and counselors. A mystical unborn is bound to the witch and cannot stray more than 100 yards from them. They can turn invisible at will and cannot be affected by anything on the physical plane.



The spell causes no damage to the witch physically or biologically. However, the witch is unable to have more children, and only one of these creatures can be created during a lifetime. How can this be the case?

          To get pregnant again, you must finish your prior pregnancy.



          The woman cannot have another pregnancy because she has never finished the prior one. It is not because she has been physically damaged in any way. It is because the mystical unborn has not been born. The connection between mother and fetus remains intact; from the OP "the unborn is bound to the witch". It no longer resides inside her body (although that could be a possibility), but the mystic connection these witches use to magically nourish their pregnancies continues to nourish and sustain the mystical unborn.



          The connection cannot be severed. Methods have been devised to incapacitate or otherwise deprive a witch of the services of her mystical unborn but the unborn does not die; it cannot die because it is not alive.



          A question is what happens to the mystical unborn if the mother witch dies. One might posit that just as in life the mother witch tethers the unborn to the material plane, one her death the unborn serves as a tether, keeping what remains of her energies tethered to whatever limbo the unborn inhabit.

          The process of creating the mystical unborn makes irrevocable changes to the witch's reproductive system. You can yank the fetus out at that late stage and create this pitiful creature instead, but the womb was not designed for that and is altered in the process. For example, some part of the womb -- necessary to keep a fetus alive inside the body -- can be extracted from the witch and merged into the created being to provide ongoing sustenance to the creation. Further, this is a permanent change, not the womb being temporarily allocated to sustaining the being, so if the being dies, she can't become pregnant again.

            • The "mystical unborn" releases some sort of chemical (perhaps a waste product) that kills enough tissue in the womb that normal implantation of an embryo can no longer occur.


            • The "mystical unborn" releases some sort of chemical that travels up the Fallopian Tubes and attacks the ovaries.


            • The "mystical unborn" takes part of its mother's womb with it, either by eating it or by incorporating it into its body. The process of giving birth, then, effectively becomes a birth and a hysterectomy.

              Keeping the creature "alive"



              In order to keep the creature the witch has to donate orgone to the creature. If the witch tried to conceive another child the creation would drain more orgone than the witch is able to regenerate there by killing the child while only being only a few cm in size (or even smaller) which disables the unborn child to become another creature.

                A mystical unborn is bound to the witch and cannot stray more than 100 yards from them.



                and only one of these creatures can be created during a lifetime.




                The womb is a material component for the spell. Once spent, the creature is bound to the witch by a hundred yards long mystical umbilical nooze.



                She may not be pregnant physically, but she is magically. Therefore she cannot become pregnant again.

                                  Keeping the creature "alive"



                                  In order to keep the creature the witch has to donate orgone to the creature. If the witch tried to conceive another child the creation would drain more orgone than the witch is able to regenerate there by killing the child while only being only a few cm in size (or even smaller) which disables the unborn child to become another creature.

                                          A mystical unborn is bound to the witch and cannot stray more than 100 yards from them.



                                          and only one of these creatures can be created during a lifetime.




                                          The womb is a material component for the spell. Once spent, the creature is bound to the witch by a hundred yards long mystical umbilical nooze.



                                          She may not be pregnant physically, but she is magically. Therefore she cannot become pregnant again.
