We bring to your attention a new expanded and revised version of the old novel with the original title “Forbidden Practices.” The enterprising leader Anna Sergeevna Pankratyeva is trying to control the people around her with the help of mental weapons. The secret of this weapon was shared with her by a certain Arseny, considered in certain circles to be a sorcerer who helps those who suffer to achieve success. Anna Sergeevna tests Arseny’s theoretical information in practice and shares the results with him. However, forbidden practices are forbidden because using them is very dangerous.
