As the celestial points out, there are very few things that could inhibit her magic so, and none of them are pleasant subjects to wonder about.  However, when Sgt. Ananda begins speculating about the origin of the curse, Kaelen can't help but speak up.<br/><br/>"That is extremely unlikely, Sergeant.
