Wow that's a lot. They can be lovely people, yes! I've met a good few who were lovely. There is a little girl I met who really likes me, she helps me out a lot in jobs and I go visit her a bunch.
I can do a few things too, most to do with spirits but it's definitely taxing and nothing like it used to be. It doesn't ebb and flow freely anymore. I'm not sure anyone really, truly knows what happened. If someone does, it's not common knowledge. I don't think it happened overnight, though. It's been dwindling more and more for a very long time.
