[@shylarah] if there's one thing I know is fun from experience, it's messing with short and easily angered people :P ... as for if that's actually within Stina's character... perhaps. we'll see how he continues to open up. at least he can blame Ziotea's wavering faith on the obvious turmoil of emotions constantly inside her, and tolerate it somewhat. 

[@lovejoy] added a bit more clear limits on Stina's abilities 

"Stina knows his own limits, and one of them is the use of vial ether - he never showed much talent with it, and is never one to waste such a limited and vital resource, and therefore generally avoids it. as it is, this means that using his bursts of speed more than once or twice per day is a rather poor idea, since it will leave him more and more exhausted."

basically I don't want to have to deal with vials or anything. I'm powerful enough without that sort of ability, anyway :P
