It's not an experience I would sign up for, obviously. Even putting aside the particular circumstances you now find yourself in, it sounds personally unpleasant to me.

But your powers are unique, even in the wide spectrum of possible Liminal powers, and have near-limitless possibilities when it comes to research potential. The control you've demonstrated—both when linking two different people, and linking yourself to another person to utilise their abilities—is remarkable. At least, until now, but we probably can't completely blame you for how poorly that's going.
