[ It sounds as if he's been given time, and she relaxes somewhat. That's... good. Very good for him. More than that, because he's already powerful enough, there's less and less reason in this world for him to exert himself or prime. He hadn't even needed to during the fight with the fire horse. He barely broke a sweat. It's a good thing he's been given another life in this world, because with peril removed, he'll have many years to live if he doesn't use his magic. ]

It progresses whether or not I use magic, but tends to flare when exhaustion hits. In this world, it's like it's... waiting for a trigger to come back in full force. [ He's not going to like this, but she feels it important to admit, if only to be transparent: ] Last time it flared, it's because the tombstone had drained me.

[ Using phantoma directly doesn't actually sustain her health, but it does give her energy, something she can use to get herself to safety or to buy time. ] You have to understand, I didn't have much of a choice.

I'll try to be more careful. [ --Bold words for someone who was walking up and down that volcano trying to find a cure to help her friends for the sleeping curse. Yeah, no, it's going to take more than that to have her put her health over others'. ]
