In some ways. [Hmm.] As you know, I have been talking with others, and I've come to believe that our "curse" is not so much of a curse at all, but a side effect of how we use our aether, particularly the over use of it. I can explain more later, but there are a few books here that discuss similar concept of overusing magic, the risks observed, and methods to prevent it.

More importantly, there was something about "converting" different magics, such as those from other worlds.
