Lady Quintessa, forgive me for not asking you this in person, but I am a bit busy right now.

You said once that this power you are teaching me to use is accessed through a sacrificed connection, right?

Could I access more if I sacrifice another connection?

[madgoddess]

It can be, yes. Were you not satisfied with the power I bestowed upon you?

[seekermiddlemanagement]

Once I've masted the powers I currently have, I just wanted to know if there was a chance to expand.

I meant no disrespect, my lady.

[madgoddess]

Magic is a living thing: should you nuture it, it will grow. And like any living thing, it must be fed and tended. So yes, the scope of what you can presently do is not a hard limit.

I know you didn't, Slipstream, please forgive my caution. Others have abused my gifts of power before, and although much time has passed... that betrayal still stings.

[seekermiddlemanagement]

"I would never betray you, Lady Quintessa." And right there, in the moment, it's definitely the truth. "Does the connection need to be a strictly positive one?"

[madgoddess]

"I know you are being sincere, Slipstream, but I have been told that before..."

She shakes her head. "No, the connection merely seeks an equivalent exchange for the power given. It is not something that is consciously chosen, not even by myself."
