[That's obviously the most important thing to take away here. ] I've got to be honest, I don't know a single person back home who wouldn't go mad with power with that kind of ability? Except my mum, maybe.
Well. Don't go thinking there's never any corruption with the system as it is now.
[Hoo boy, BIAPA. In just a few months, the stories she heard and could tell if they weren't sworn secrets. Never mind the shady nature of her own arrangement, even if it was legal.]
It's just kept in reasonable check so that people can go on fucking with the system from within it. No great Machiavellian schemes of the sort you expect from supervillains, but enough ugliness that I want right out once I've gotten my incentive. They'll have what they need and I can move on with my life far away from watching other gifted get used or become the ones who use others.
