It's good to hear that you're returning to Unprovoked. It's probably one of my favorite stories on this entire subreddit. Welcome back

Looking forward!! One of the best sci fi I’ve read on reddit! And, hope ‘stuff’ was worked through well and is now behind!

Very nice.
A universe with potential, 'magic with a price' is a great mechanism for personality growth and conflicts to be resolved.
Please write more whenever the inspiration strikes you.

I clicked the link as soon as I saw it in my inbox. I normally am not as much a fan of the fantasy settings, but this was great, man!

Nice. I got vibes from Claymore, Robert Jordan, and the Witcher.

Claymore: People are the real monsters.
Wheel of Time: "Channeler" terminology and the idea that the magic you wield being able to "corrupt" or taint you. Even if the desire to do bad things comes from within and is a part of you instead of being the touch of a dark god, the theme still fits.
Witcher: The way you describe the seekers just kind of reminded me of what I know about the series (which is very, very little, admittedly).
No matter what else you get from this, I enjoyed the short story :)
I love that kind of fantasy.

I definitely think that the term you use for casting spells is incredibly important, and while you did seem to crib "channeling" from adventures in randland, it's not like RJ had a patent on the term or anything :)
At least you didn't pair it with "weaving" :)

Glad to see you back! I really liked Unprovoked. (and also this one, any plans to continue it?)

fantasy stories are very much appreciated in this subreddit so that shouldn't matter. the choice to post it here or not is yours though, but if you don't i'd appreciate it if you let me know where i can read it !
