Draiss sat down, before shaking his head. "Taint is the word I use to describe the sudden acquisition of power from a source that is not a natural one to the multi-planar-verse. How about you tell me about the geass, that bird sigil on your eye, and if you had any contact with a being that asked for an odd task or item in exchange for power? I will then tell you about why I am hunting them, and how I knew how to disable the proto-construct you were piloting."
