Chapters 1&2
A witchcraft x ESMP Au I've been working on for a while now
Shelby watched as the other emperors battled Sausage Supreme. Gem, Joel, and Jimmy were focusing all their firepower at the former protector of Sanctuary while the others battled with the large sculk tentacles preventing anyone from engaging with Sausage directly. Shelby looked down at the spell circle Gem had told her to cast.
<><Flashback><>
“It all comes down to Shelby.”
Shelby looked at Gem, stunned. It has only been a few hours since Gem had dropped the newsbomb that she used to be a wizard. And not just any wizard either. No, she was the wizard that founded the Crystal Cliffs Wizarding Academy, the direct rival of the Witches Academy.
“What do you mean, it's all on her?” Joe questioned, “the only reason we're in this mess is because she’s a bad witch!”
Katherine smacked him on the back of his head. “JOE!”
“We need Shelby to do it Joe, she’s the only one besides me who has experience casting complex spells.”
“Well then why can't you do it Gem?” Fwhip asked.
Gem sighed, “because I'm the reason he’s here. I defeated Supreme once, and now he’s back for revenge. That makes me the perfect bait.” the princess-turned-wizard (or was it Wizard-turned-princess, Shelby couldn’t decide) turned to Shelby. “You cured Cub from his corruption, you can cure Sausage of his.”
Shelby looked around at the other emperors staring at her before taking a deep breath and turning to Gem. “What’s the spell?”
<><Present day><>
Gold from Joel, Prismarine from Joey, iron from False, flowers from Scott, copper from Pix, slime and crystals from Lizzie, and a blue mushroom she had found in the Gnome Ruins.

Oh, and Oli was contributing with a small musical performance, which he was tuning up  as she was placing the last of the redstone to connect the items. The witch turned to the bard. 
“You ready Oli?” he nodded and stepped into place along the outer edge of the spell. “Santa Perla, Pearl, Help us clean up this mess!” he shouted before beginning a small tune on his lute. 
I heard there a secret chord, 
That David played and it pleased the lord,
But you don't really care for music do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
The Minor falls and the Major lifts..
Shelby let Oli’s singing fade into the background of her mind as she summoned her magic. Gem had told her that the original spell was used to trap a demon, but she had altered it to capture only the soul of Sausage supreme and not Sausage’s physical body that the dark Mage was possessing. To activate the spell, she needed to summon all the mana she possibly could to throw into the center of the circle. But she needed to wait for the right moment. 
Shelby looked up and watched the battle. Gem had her butterfly wings and princess dress, but she was dual wielding a sword and a Wizard’s staff that held an amethyst at the top, which glowed with power as Gem cast spell after spell, sending spikes of purple crystal at the possessed Sausage. Joel was throwing bolts of lightning at the TNT Jimmy was chucking at the tentacles.
“NOW SHELBY!” Gem suddenly shouted, pulling Shelby back to the spell. But in the confusion, she forgot to properly check her magic and it exploded as soon as she activated the spell. She cried out as she was thrown back against the wall, everything fading to black.

When Shelby came to, she was lying on the ground, her feet trapped by a large piece of rubble. Grunting, she sat up and shoved it off of her. The witch stood up and looked around.
The magical explosion had completely decimated the portion of the spawn citadel that they had been fighting in. Dust hung in the air, making it near impossible for the witch to see. She could barely make out the piece of rubble that had fallen on her. The Witch looked around to see if she could spot any of her allies but she couldn't. She shook her head in an attempt to get rid of the ringing in her ears. It worked slightly, and she could hear someone shouting. But the noise was muffled, like she was underwater. 
Shelby moved closer to the shouting and soon recognized the voice as Joe's
“Where is she? Where is that witch!”
The witch in question hid behind one of the standing pillars, hiding from the pirate as Gem tried to pacify him.
“Joe calm down.”
“No Gem, she almost messed up the spell and we all nearly died. If-”
“Wait, where is shelby?”Katherine interrupted the pirate king.
"I don't know," Joel said, "But I don't see Sausage either."
"SAUSAGE, SHELBY!" Fwhip called out and the others soon joined him.
Shelby was about to step out, but something held her back. She didn't know what it was. But then she heard Jimmy’s voice 
“Wait Guys, what's that?”
“Isn't that Shelby’s hat?”
Shelby felt at the top of her head to find that her hat was, in fact, not there. 
"If Shelby’s hat is here," Lizzie asked, "then where's Shelby?" 
"SHELBY WHERE ARE YOU!" Katherine called out in a panicked voice. Shelby’s heart twisted. Even after the 'truce' at Oli's Rift Festival - which Joe didn't even hold up his end - Shelby still couldn't get rid of her feelings for the warrior princess. But now she realized why her subconscious had told her not to reveal herself.
This is perfect, she thought, if they think I'm dead then when the Academy comes looking for me, I'll have an alibi. Joe probably won't believe it, since he saw my letter to Grandma, but it's not like anyone really took him seriously aside from Sausage. 
With her mind made up and a faint plan of action in mind, Shelby quietly pulled out her broom and flew away toward the Evermoor to get the needed supplies. 
When she showed up at her witch hat house, both Mother Toad and Tortoise, her familiar, were waiting for her.
She rushed inside and grabbed a small bag that no one would notice was missing, quickly filling it with a few potion ingredients, food, a cloak, and one of her leftover Magic Gem Crystals. On her way back out, she grabbed a long navy blue hooded cloak so 5hat she could still move around undetected. She ran back out to her broom, mounted, then remembered. She quickly dismounted and picked up Tortoise. The purple toad stared at her and gave a small ribbit.
" Don't tell Sausage you saw me, OK? They need to believe that I'm dead." Shelby turned to Mother Toad as well. "You too, please." With that she set down Tortoise and turned back to her broom. Tortoise took a few hops towards her, but she pushed him back.
“I'm sorry Tortoise, but if I take you with me, they’ll know that I'm not dead.” she kissed her familiar on the head. “Keep the evermoor and the gnome spirits safe for me, OK?” Tortoise croaked twice and she took that as an answer. With one last look at the mangrove trees surrounding her home, she hopped on her broom and took off.

OK SO HEAR ME OUT
Xornoth is actually similar to a physical sickness. He infects through your blood. He has to pierce your body in some way to take you over. The closer he gets to your heart, an artery, or your spine is how fast it takes over and how hard to fight it is. At a certain point, you die while he controls. He has your body forever now, though he dislikes the rot that occurs, so he works to keep the host at least partially alive.
Sausage was stabbed through the hand with one of the crimson vines and now has a large X shaped scar there, and that hand is now a lot stiffer and almost completely numb. Because of how non-vital the area was, though, the possession was fought off well and completely.
Now for just what I thought of for a fwhip possession that I desperately wanna see-
He finds the necklace with crystal Xornoth on it. He puts it on, and Xornoth talks to him. Scott is so far away that Xornoth isn't constantly weakened by his brothers presence. Fwhip is distrusting, but he is also vengeful and angry, so he listens to what Xornoth has to say. Eventually, Xornoth manipulates him into doing things to make him strong enough to control the string he is on, twisting it around Fwhips throat and cutting it open (and making Fwhip pass out.) With his body open for the taking, and no consciousness to fight back, Xornoth takes over completely. Fwhip is barely there anymore. Xornoth enjoys the strong, agile body that isn't constantly fighting like Sausage did.
The only downside is that everyone can see the new, angry, red scar around his neck, because he gave his scarf to Gem in an attempt to keep her warm. To be fair though, Xornoth isn't trying to hide that he is back. Scott isn't here to fight, Gem is too weak to, and most others are too scared to resist, or don't care. Joey is very conflicted. Fwhip is hot now. It scares him more then Xornoths actual form did.
How to fix it? HAH no idea! My job is just to make the angst, not also make it better :p
Feel free to add anything you'd like ✨✨
