Even if she isn’t with him, the Baoding Chinese balls will remind her to whom her pussy belongs; and it isn’t you who owns it.

I can also do the pyramid pattern now, although together these weigh almost two pounds so not for long per day

Ah, congratulations. I am pleased you have discovered one of your innate talents. We all have them, but unfortunately many people do not discover them.

This isn’t a story idea, but it’s an idea for something I could use in a story someday; a magic system based on chakras and Chinese medicine balls - Baoding balls, the little metal spheres you spin in your palm. I think I could make use of it in a setting inspired by Chinese culture and mythology. 

The magic system revolves around the use of two different kinds of metal spheres: lightweight, hollow spheres painted with different colors and patterns that allow them to channel energy from the chakras, and heavier, “inert” spheres that are used to store that energy once it’s drawn. At least one of each type of must be present, or else nothing happens. 

Like regular Baoding balls, the spheres are held in the palm and rotated around each other with the muscles in the hand. The painted spheres draw energy from the chakras, then the inert sphere is charged with that energy and can be used for many effects: a thrown weapon, a medium for healing or storing life energy like a battery, or a tracking device, for example. The colors and patterns drawn on the painted spheres determine which chakras are drawn from and the effects bestowed upon the charged sphere, and spheres of multiple types and colors (or the same types and colors) can be used to combine or amplify the effects. 

However, the chakras need time to replenish their expended energy, and drawing from them too deeply can cause an imbalance or the chakras clouding over permanently, leading to negative effects on the body and mind. 

Setting-wise, I imagine that this magic system would work well in a political story with multiple royal families in a kingdom. Different families could keep the knowledge of different patterns to be drawn painstakingly onto their spheres, knowledge to be passed down between generations of royal artisans and kept from the grasp of the other families. Citizens in different sects could be trained in different uses of the art - healers, trackers, oracles, warriors, etc.
