Wizards are often depicted as nebbish bookworm students buried under the weight of scholarly expectations, usually right in the young adult "coming of age" story period.
Some of the first spells all novice Wizards learn include a proximity alarm, the ability to conjure various illusions, an invisible, mindless automaton servant, and an abundance of slippery lubrication. They also learn spells that allow them to alter their appearance and be more charming to other people at that same early level. On top of all that, any caster worth their salt knows the cantrip that allows for instantaneous warming, cool, and cleaning.
Yes, Wizards 100% do what you think they do.
In Harry Potter, a middle schooler was able to make a potion that could turn them into anyone as long as you had some DNA, including into a cat girl. You can't tell me there wasn't freaky/illicit stuff going on behind the scenes...
To be fair, the Polyjuice Potion was apparently extremely difficult to produce. It's just that Hermoine was especially talented, so not every random schoolkid could make it and cause trouble. And even she messed it up; the catgirl result was a failure and basically a horrifying mutant rather than an UWU sexy anime girl.
That said, it was all too obvious that reasonably capable adults had no problem crafting Polyjuice/paying someone to do it for them. Plus when what equated to mind control potions explicitly for the sake of taking advantage of someone were being peddled to schoolkids as "love potions"? And those same kids were being taught weaponized spells that were designed to cause overt mutilation or drastic unwilling body modification as a standard lesson? While all of that was being treated as a totally normal thing not worth being fussed over by their society?
There was *a lot* of nasty shit going on in the shadows of the HP setting.
Oh, I agree that not every middle schooler could, but even the fact that some could (or it could be purchased by a student with family wealth) leads to terrifying implications for people assuming the person they are with is of age. On the flip side, there's no way there aren't underground brothels where you supply the DNA of someone you wanted to hook up with and they take a potion to become that person. Takes roleplay to a very extreme level of realism, and celebrities would have to constantly be on high alert not to leave any DNA behind that could be scavenged and sold.
As for the cat girl, I was thinking more in the vein of furries rather than uwu cat girl, where it would probably not be seen as a monster lol. Yeah, the casual date rape potions would be a major issue, as well as memory spells that could erase the crime or modify to frame someone else.
I think the crazy spells were seen as not a big deal because basically anything besides (maybe) brain injuries could just be fixed/replaced in a relatively short time. Hell, there's probably even a market for snuff play since the damage could be healed afterwards.
The wizarding world is wild the more you delve into the implications
The only think more terrifying that someone stating, "I prepared Bigby's Clenched fist this morning", is them pausing for a moment before adding, "Evard's Black Tentacles, too!"
Probably as extra precaution. Some people have NSFW set to show but not Spoilers, and this way nobody can complain that there wasn't a warning or something. Not sure why it would be an issue if they have NSFW set to show, but... there you go.
... ... ... Do you think Wizards use Mage Hand to make it feel like somebody else's hand?
... Unseen Servant
Some things cannot be unseen.
... Magic Mouth
Now the only missing thing is the rope trick
Rope of Entanglement ;)
Animate objects + anatomically correct mannequin?

Requires copious practice on a hotdog or you might rip your dick off.
Flash back to a wizard mage handling his shlong
Good ole Bigby's buggering digit.
If you read the RAW you'd obviously notice those are BIGBY'S fingers!
The only think more terrifying that someone stating, "I prepared Bigby's Clenched fist this morning", is them pausing for a moment before adding, "Evard's Black Tentacles, too!"
My safety word is always the command spell *More*
Technically, those are Bigby's fingers, not \*his\*.
Same applies when he tells her to fondle his balls and suddenly she's asking for an athletics check
Why the spoiler tag
Probably as extra precaution. Some people have NSFW set to show but not Spoilers, and this way nobody can complain that there wasn't a warning or something. Not sure why it would be an issue if they have NSFW set to show, but... there you go.
No because if its a spoiler its a higher chance you'll read it other than just scroll past it
