Right, so I got a problem.
I have no idea how I can react to Satori doing that to Alaira, whilst simultaneously prevent her from leaving the college and never coming back.
I understand that that bit is supposed to be funny, but the truth is that what Satori did was a monstrously evil act. Psychomancy does not fill her with rage, what it does is cause ceaseless agony in her. A terrible, clawing, burning pain that only gets stronger. when that happens, she is lashing out in desperation, because her poor broken mind sees it as the only way to make it stop. Now, Ssarak just did it, sure. But unintentionally, and he doesn't even know he has that effect on her, or even how to control it enough for Alaira to be unaffected. Satori knows what it does, and very much does have that total of control. Let me put it in perspective. what Satori just did is like getting a sandwich for a friend of yours that's allergic to peanuts, and putting a little peanut butter on it to 'see what happens.' And yes, the effect could very much kill her over time.
And then there's Khan. He said it himself, he would never allow harm to come to a student. Why would he just sit there? You could say he doesn't know, but I think he's smart enough to catch on if the second Satori steps up, Alaira starts shrieking in agony. Would he ignore that? Does protecting students only apply to bandits and raiders, the teachers have free reign to abuse the students as they see fit? If so, how does a place as large as this stay functioning? wouldn't that drive students (and their tuition money) away? I feel like that was simply an unintentionally (I hope) mean spirited attempt at a joke, and I'm really sorry to have to rant. I just feel as if the long-term effects of Alaira's part of Satori's demonstration weren't fully considered. Unless Satori is Evil, in which case I guess I understand. I wouldn't have a problem if it were an accident, but I just can't foresee Khan letting her get away with it if it was intentional.
