Does anyone here have experience in teaching people 'magic'? Or in helping out someone who has trouble controlling their own 'magical' abilities?

Because I might need some help.

Thanks for the advice, dick for brains.

[bring_the_beatdown]

[unitas]

Oh, my hero.

Fuck off.

[bring_the_beatdown]

u gonna wish ud listened 2 me when ur wearing robes with cats all over them or sumthing.

lemme just say i told u so now.

i told u so.

[unknowable]

Maybe. Or I guess - I was the one being helped, before, and I can control things better now. I could try to teach you what I was taught.

[unitas]

I'd... [ what the fuck do people say? ] appreciate it.

[ nailed it ] How much did it help?

[unknowable]

A lot. It felt like I was going crazy, before. Like I wasn't myself, or like I was losing myself.

It's not perfect now, but I'm in control of myself most of the time.

[unitas]

I feel that way, sometimes. [ lost between what once was, and what is. ] I'm willing to try anything that could help.

What should I do? [ Should they meet? Or can she do this long distance? ]

Among other things. [ if you say anything like 'about time' she will find you, and burn you in the face, ronan. ]

what is it?

hard to say who can help and who cant without knowing whats going on

text

[unitas]

I don't know. I don't know anything about what I can do, or why I can do it. I don't know if it's magic, or like... mind shit, or if it's just bad Silent Hill juju.

I did not know that you had magical abilities.
Dorian is a mage. He may be able to help you.

Is everything all right?

[unitas]

I don't know if it's magic. I don't really know what else to call what I have, though. [ mostly, she just calls it fucked up. fucked up powers. ]

But I don't think it's something to worry about. I'm fine. They just have this... when I get emotional, things happen. It's fire, most of the time. Other times, it's like things move without me touching them.

[closerift]

What is it that you can do?
Not all abilities are magic.

[ says the woman with the flashy hand ]

Fire? That does sound like magic, though.
If you cannot control it then you may be in danger.

[unitas]

I don't know how to describe them all. Fire. Telekinesis. I think I sometimes dream about the future, but it's always... wrong, somehow. Bits and pieces. There's other things, but I can't even try to explain them, just know that thinking a lack of control over fire is bad, this is worse.

It's kind of why I'm asking for help. The worse it gets here, the worse my control seems to get.

Do you know Dorian? Or Neria? They are both skilled mages who may be able to help.

If things get very dire, I do have the ability to, ah, cut off magic temporarily. But that should be used as a last resort.

[unitas]

Dorian lives with Cecily and you, right? I may contact him if the thing I'm trying with Adam doesn't pan out.

And... how would you do something like that? Could you do it permanently?

text.

[smited]

He does.

I was a templar for many years--knights trained to fight against the dangers of magic. Suppression is one of the skills we are taught. As for your question, the only way I know of suppressing magic permanently is not to be used lightly. It might not even work with you.

[unitas]

But if it could work on me?

[pellameno]

I've always been the one being taught, but if you still need help I can certainly try.

[unitas]

I could probably use all the help I can get, if I'm being honest. I don't know what's going to work, and what isn't. If anything even will.

[pellameno]

I'm sure something will. There are an awful lot of us here.

What is it you're trying to control?

[unitas]

Fire. Telekinesis. ...Weirder shit.

They're normally... they're fine, it's just when I get emotional that they start acting out, I guess.
