I understand the mechanics behind it (simply put, if you do something
wrong with your power, you get it revoked).
But what I don't understand is, what classifies as abusive?
o Showing off? (Say, showing your girlfriend and boss that you are telepathic)
o Continuous practice? (With the intent of furthering your own abilities)
o Neglecting other activities to practice? (Such as what I should be
doing, like reading the rest of the SD and finishing my commissions
work)
And would a master know of these transgressions?
Purely hypothetical questions.
