Daaaddyyyyyyy-

@Legend

I'm serious. It's like how you're predisposed to a certain color, but you don't know if that's a genetic thing, or a personal choice, or what. People are predisposed towards certain Imaginary Energies, or none, and that tends to chance a lot, much like a favorite color. Someone who's basically drowned in a single one like me is actually the rarer situation.

But what's the difference? Did they have more natural talent? More lessons? More drive?

@Legend

It's like... what's your favorite color?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

I have—
*Takes a deep breath*
so far to catch up.

@Legend

You don't have to catch up to anything. You're your own person. You have your own strengths and weaknesses, nothing to worry about.

Why did they learn it so much earlier? What did they have that I don't?

@Legend

Nothing super special, just natural tendencies towards using them. Some people are born with aptitudes towards them that most aren't.

*Continues focusing the energy*

@Legend

You're doing well, though.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

How old were our bigger siblings when they learned it?

@Legend

Ki? Zelda was born with a high level of control with it, and the others figured it out on their own long before I went to teach them. But you shouldn't try to compare people, it's not a great idea.

I could have flown? This whole time? Shion can fly?

@Legend

Shion might be able to fly. While she mastered Ki control, she isn't the best at using it outside of her body, other than sensing it. So flight would be difficult for her. She had much more potential with other Imaginary Energies than Ki, so for her it's more of a "jump from created platform to platform" thing.

What's next, then? Just keep practicing?

@Legend

For the most part. Meditation goes a long way for it, too. Once you're able to wrap yourself in Ki, you'll be able to fly too by controlling it around you, so that's a useful ability.

I thought maybe I could try to combine the sensing with my busted eyes.

@Legend

You might be able to later on, but for now it's a little dangerous. Once you have better control, it'll be viable.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

I don't want to heal so much as I wanna understand.

@Legend

Then you're better off using something else, but either way, you'll need pretty extreme levels of control to be able to figure anything out of the ordinary.

*Releases it and drops the blindfold back on*
Maybe it would help somehow. I don't know.

@Legend

You can use it to heal minor injuries, but it takes extreme control, and it might do damage to something as complex as an eye.
