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.

[unitas]

Thanks for the advice, dick for brains.

[bring_the_beatdown]

just trying to save you the embrssment of being a lameass.

dont say i didnt do nuthin for u.

[unitas]

Oh, my hero.

Fuck off.

[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.

is this about the fire shit

[unitas]

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

[ nailed it ] How much did it help?

text

[unitas]

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.

It was a town in my world that was run by a cult. They practiced some nasty rituals, and one went wrong, and the town shifted into another world, a much more hellish world, the kind of world they deserved.

It's my hometown, and there's where I was before I came here.

[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? ]

sounds fucked up

the last place we were in before here had a corrupted ley line. we tried to wake it up you know like a ritual to calm it down. it swallowed us up and sent us here. much more hellish world, look at that.

maybe you and i could meet up. think you can not summon a hellscape this time?

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

Is everything all right?

text.

[smited]

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]

It sounds like you guys fucked up.

Where & when do you want to meet?

text;

[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.

[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]

Someone helped me scry - go into myself, set boundaries and understand my own connection better. It might help you to try something like that.

We'd have to do it in person, though.

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?

[unitas]

You do realize I don't care, right? At all. Your opinion means absolutely nothing to me, so you can stop trying now.

[unitas]

It doesn't hurt to try. [ but lbr going into herself sounds like the opposite of a good time ]

That's fine. Is there anything I should be prepared for?

[greywaren]

Ive got nothing going on right now.

Second spire in an hour?
