Subject: My Power
Professor:
I think that my power is trying to fulfill my desires. It senses that if I want something, or don't want something, it then acts to try to make that happen / make that not happen. This is what got me into trouble with Amanda the other day - I wanted the link back, emotionally speaking, and my power did everything it could to make that happen.
This is why we were both down sick for as long as we were. This is not also the first time this has happened, but I don't want to talk about _that_ right now. Not unless I want more nightmares and sleepless nights.
Can you help me? There's nothing I can do when I'm blocked like this, and until I get control of this I'll never be unblocked.

You have been excused from classes already so I will contact you as soon as my schedule clears and we can discuss this and investigate further. Please take the time to rest appropriately so that you will be able to participate in our work to the best of your abilities.

Subject: That... makes sense
I felt your power pushing against the healing spell. I thought I'd done enough to block it, but not enough it looks like. I've been reading up on healing spells since it happened - healing involves energy transfer, from me to the person, and to do that it makes, you guessed it, a link. I never even thought...
Even when I'm trying to help I still fuck things up.
