The teacher smiled and nodded apreciatively. "Indeed it does. The reason for it is because you need a source of magic that accepts you as its user. Now we know that everything living emits magic to a certain degree, to some this means that the most recourcefull source of magic is another living being.

There is a hitch in this, the magic your body emits has a sort of aura to it. I can't discribe it in any other way than that the magic is its own entity that protects the being that it is emited from. That is why we go unconcious whenever we lose all stored up magic in our body as it can no longer protect us.

Have you ever heard of evil mages? Of course any mage does research for his own accord, but particularly in mages who use other living beings as sources for ther magic they end up with horrible disfigurements on their bodies. These 'Evil mages' draw out power forcibly out of others, the magic of the victim tries to protect the victim by harming the 'Evil mage'. This is the most prominent reason why powerful tyrannical mages have extremely short livespans.

Sure you are a powerful mage and can outperform anyone you know, but you will only enjoy that power for a few years before it kills you."
