So, reading about the Stormlight Archive(neat series, magic returning and a secret story going on in the verses shared background) has delved into psychic ilnesses developing or starting by beeing connected to Cognitive Realm. This in turn warps the users, making them more invested into their powers intent. This is very similar to Sorcerously Advanced with the Self overcoming ones psyche. The difference is that by cutting the power off, investeds can regain their own original self. This is rather extreme in the case of cutting oneself off from f.e. War. Can the Gift itself be supressed enough to provide therapy? Are there even methods of willing supression via Communion?
Are there potential bioweapons from way back then, so integrated into the users psyche that they themselves have gained the Gift? If so, whats their take on becoming autonymous?
Just some thoughts, its quite possible im way off base here.
