*is awake now*And I've been reading and INSPECTOR YOU JUST LOVE MAKING ME GRUMPY. That rumor of cannibals from Ju'ra better just be a rumor: I know absorbing magic by eating other magical beings is a great idea, but I'd really appreciate it if everyone would stop trying to steal goblins' thunder. I already let ghouls have the power as long as they were made of goblins, but can we please just settle that absorbing magic of what you eat is a goblin-only power? I would greatly appreciate that.

They eat them to eat them. He justifies it by saying that he can see through their eyes and witness their experiences. And it isn't a rumor. Oscar eats the people he kills. He doesn't gain anything. He just eats them.
