"Oh! That's fair, but also, Dragon Fairy Elf Witch makes sure I don't get any downsides, so it's fine."

"So you can't eat people's mana now."

"...Okay, I prooooobably could eat someone's mana if I killed them, but I don't know for sure, and also I didn't get that one from a mal, I got it from Orion Lake."

"...he can eat people's mana??"

"Well, technically anybody can do that. Orion can apparently take mals' mana. And get it qua mana."

"...that explains so much."

"And now I can do it too! I'm still trying to figure out if it has any unexpected downsides but if it doesn't I am going to use More Magic to hand it out like candy."

"We will overhunt all the mals to extinction and be short certain materials. Which to be clear would be a good problem to have."

"I will simply duplicate the materials. But also, yes, I would like to take the current food chain and smelt it down into a decorative trophy."

"Okay! Vivat!"

"Anyway, I did get some neat stuff, and if it's not too philosophically disquieting I was wondering if you wanted any." 

"Whaddaya got?"

"Heat resistance and cold resistance, separately. Improved sense of smell. Improved night vision, improved particulate-penetrating vision, improved movement tracking. Boost to strength. Resistance to various toxins and corrosives. Improved ability to hold my breath, or possibly even outright water breathing, I'm not sure, that divination spell was a little imprecise. Improved flexibility. I can stick things to my skin now, no prizes guessing what I got that from."
