"It's a tie to the Fade, so anything longterm will be related to that. Beyond that, I really don't know. It's too new a phenomenon and too foreign to our usual magic. But whatever symptoms you experience, share them. You will do no one any favors by keeping them to yourself." There's a very stern look sent Kain's way, making it clear that she won't appreciate another attempt at lying by omission.

"As for pride...take care with how much you let that rule you. Did I ever tell you about my Harrowing? The demon that found me was a pride demon, though it didn't appear as such at first. I simply thought it the spirit of a mage who failed their Harrowing. It -he- supposedly assisted me against the rage demon I thought was my nemesis. After it was no more, he spoke of how capable I was, how I could assist him, free him from his limbo. He appealed to my sense of pride...and had I been less aware, I might have listened. If I had, he would have gained what he wanted...and I would have lost myself to possession. It's easy to believe yourself capable of overcoming anything, especially when you have talent. But it's wiser to know what our limitations are, and work within them."
