He kept his opinion on Hiana to himself, that she was the reason that Kimat had turned out the way he had, at least partially.<br/><br/>He grinned to himself as he landed by Kimat's residence, and waited a moment before a drone swooped down and delivered a package for him, before it returned to transport. He slotted the delivered item in his armor, before dismissing the armor and heading in. Now that his armor wasn't out and limiting his power, he could do more thorough checks of his children, and see if his thoughts on Kimat and Hiana were correct. "Morning, ready to get some tests done, and start learning to use it, if I am right?"<br/><br/>Assuming his son nodded, Draiss took a seat, cross legged, and then leaned backwards. "First though, there are some things about being an anti-mage I should mention. First, magic is LIFE. An anti-mage is absorbing and channeling that life energy somewhere, and different mages send it to different places. Many cause it to channel to a spot where there is little natural magic, sort of like a system that is trying to balance out and dropped a pipe between a pond and a desert. Others, however, are linked to a specific being. In your case, I believe it might be your sister rather than a place, as the Faerie is a high magic area already.<br/><br/>Second, there are three types of anti-mage. From least powerful to most; a flat anti-mage. They are born absorbing the exact amount of magic they can, and it will never increase or decrease. They usually only have a high spell resistance to show for it. This is the middle of the three options in terms of good and bad abilities. It means you will have a reasonably 'normal' life, other than the inability to ever use magic, though items still work just fine, and with training you can actually stop being an anti-mage for a short time, to get some healing.<br/><br/>Second is variable anti-mages. These types increase or decrease their absorption based on how much magic is in the area, some faster than others, some through conscious choice, some unconscious. These are the most common, but also the most varied, hence the name. These are the best option in terms of good and bad abilities, but it does mean that you will have difficulties getting healed, especially right after a massive fight, as your absorption will be massive, until it comes down. In fact, you might want to avoid being near healers for a day or two after the battle, as you might experience a large area of absorption, which would nullify a healers spells even if you aren't the target. However, you can still get some healing done, but they will have to power through the ability.<br/><br/>Last, and least common, but most powerful, are the singularity anti-mages. These are ones are always increasing how much magic they absorb, until eventually they start sucking life out of everything around them in a desperate attempt to stave off their own death. They can't stop it, and basically are the worst option in terms of abilities, but can do the most short term change of them all. Needless to say, considering your age and location, you are NOT a singularity anti-mage, or the Faerie plane would have declared war on you already."<br/><br/>He suddenly smiled, and laughed softly. "Sorry for the lecture, but I always did enjoy teaching. Any way, those are just the three types we know of, and first, we need to find out if you even ARE an anti-mage, rather than just a magic null, which is the same as a flat anti-mage, but without a way of lowering their spell resistance to get healed. From what I have already heard, you are probably not a magic null, but finding out for certain is best."
