No, the way I read it was that the flood of thoughts/emotions are giving him the headache, not the magic itself. I looked at it as more of an after result/side effect then the magic hurting him. :p-Add on- And yes, most unpracticed Novices can hurt themselves with their own magic if they aren't careful, Esyires aren't. This doesn't stop others from hurting them with the same blood however. XD

Hmm, I guess other types of mages could do cool things like cloak their flesh in fire or something. Doesn't help me, but if any other Esyire characters pop up, it's an idea for them.

Maybe Ssarak is immune to his own drugs or something.
