It was hard to accept. It was truly uncomfortable and disgusting to say, but...
Alaric was a good teacher. His suggestions were surprisingly spot on.
"I indeed am. But instead of praising me, let's move on to the other authority you possess."

"Mind Confusion is, ironically, a more... complex authority for most people. What you need to do is gather your emotions and thoughts intensely, then use caora to transmit this confusion into your target's mind."
I'm starting to understand a little, I think.
Authorities use caora more as a tool than as fuel. They enable the manipulation of negative emotions and thoughts, reflecting them into reality. As a result, they make them usable as if they were skills.
But for this, they also require very clear imaginary inputs.
For example… how can someone 'combine' their emotions and thoughts?
