I Feel Like Phantom Never Really Had The Space Or Time To Develop Their Quintessence Skills As Much As

I feel like Phantom never really had the space or time to develop their quintessence skills as much as other quint ghouls. They know how to gather the energy, and how to expell it, but past that, they don't know anything more complicated.

This is part of the reason that I write them as hurting people when they heal them, because they don't know how to heal soothingly using and channeling the person's own energy.

This is also why, when they lashed out at Mountain, it just slashed him. They didn't know how to properly wield their quintessence into anything different than its pure form. And when they flash-banged Chain and Earth, that was simply them quickly expelling a lot of energy.

And when they twitch when they're nervous and sparks fly? That's when their nervous energy has nowhere to go, and they aren't focusing on keeping it under wraps, so they just release sparks of pure quintessence back into the air.

This genre of photos? Gotta be my favorite gender.

When I was 13 and smudged a beard on my face with charcoal and now I’m actually growing facial hair. (detail from ‘The Young Girl and Death’ c.1900 by Marianne Stokes)

Hi I’m seance and trying to raise funds to move out of an abusive household. i updated our comms list to be a bit more affordable and reflect more recent art. So if you have the spare money please consider commissioning me, im more than willing to haggle on the price as well (within reason)! If you can’t buy then please share. I am disabled and unable to work so commissions are my only source of income. I’m also open to NSFW commissions, just DM me for pricing and examples!
