Locked to Psychiatrists/Psychologists
If it helps, I don't quite think it's that, it's simply just the mechanics of this reality - environmental, rather than a person pulling the strings. There are a lot of parallels between our dreamscapes and here though, so if it's not all that different for you that makes sense.
I have a staff that I shoot fireworks from, but it's really just a conduit. I could use my fingers too.
Most definitely. Parasols make a great shanking tool.
