So.

[It's a wonderful way to start a video out, Cayde's quite aware of that; eloquence, thy name is Exo.]

Anyone feeling a little...strange recently? Perhaps a bit normal?

[He's weedling for answers and not being subtle about it, no apologies ever. Not when he can feel his Light racing through his veins in sharp pulses. The start and stop nature of it, and what Astoria had said previously about the temple itself, is equal parts comforting and horrifying. One moment he feels alive and the next nothing, back to nothing more than a dulled machine.]

I know our lovely lady in the sky supposedly gave us all magic, I don't know I've only seen it, but I mean. Anyone feeling a little bit more like themselves then they have in a while?

[This is way too much of a coincidence.]

[ Oh.

It's this guy - one of a few assholes who had the gall to outpowergame him when he had only been looking for a bit of fun from his sickbed. Still, despite their perceived differences, his questions leave Dark Bakura intrigued enough to temporarily put the past behind them, and besides - it was only a game, and for once with no strings attached, though even that circumstance owes itself to -
]

Yeah, whatever was jamming my magic before appears to have weakened for the time being. However, it still occasionally comes back in full force, too, interfering just as it had a few weeks earlier.

[ It's inconsistent enough for him to hold back on unleashing the Shadow Magic he already sorely misses lest the interference return at the most inconvenient possible time, and that in turn poses too much of a risk to the body he's now dependent on for survival. ]

Cut off completely... though at this rate, there almost is no difference. Any powers we might have originally had are just as useless if they can only be used intermittently as when they were blocked in their entirety. Using them feels like too much of a gamble at the moment.

Perhaps, but there's also a chance that they'll fail at some crucial moment, too... in my case, at least,, it's really just a matter of whether the gains at stake are worth that chance.

Though of course, that sort of situation could be avoided altogether by saving your powers for less crucial moments as well.

That all depends on the situation in question, and since I've only been here for so long, that's going to be a tough judgment call to make until something actually happens, at least until I've familiarized myself with what to expect from this place a little more...

However, it sounds like you've spent quite a bit of time here already, possibly even more than I have... how big would you say the risks are?

I see... in other words, there's less risk in trying out your powers in this place than elsewhere even if they're inconsistent because the results are more predictable.

If that's truly the case, then I suppose I can reconsider it.

If I'm killed by an unusually intense thunderstorm on this world, I'll be sure to pay you a special visit from the afterlife.

Does that include possession as well? That way, you can undergo an exorcism, too.

If that's what you're after, then it's your lucky day, because that just so happened to be a specialty back in my world... you couldn't have asked a better person that request.
