5	'''[[VideoGame/DokaponKingdom Erik]]:''' Don't you have the ability to say you have that power then makes it so you have that power or something?\
6	'''GG:''' Well not exactly. I can only do that when I'm not exactly doing it on purpose. Because when I do it on purpose, I'll have to pay the price. And I really don't like paying the price.\

Cut off from [[{{Mana}} anima]] as a source of power, they have learned to cannibalize the energies from the stolen blood in their veins. This renders them physically weaker than their earthier kin, [[LeanAndMean emaciating their frames]] with the purge of every ritual. They claim to require the blood of the magically abled, but this is an affectation rather than a scientific fact."''

34	->'''Kintaro:''' I'm sorry, Ranma, but all the signs point to this being a blood spell of some kind, and spells cast with blood are not only nefarious and unscrupulous in the extreme, but very hard to break.\
35	'''Ranma:''' A blood spell? What the heck is that?\

Because I would conserve my powers for the great days to be, rather than employ them in a hill-country brawl. But now, by Set, I shall loose them to the uttermost! Watch, dog of Asura, false priest of an outworn god, and see a sight that shall blast your reason for evermore!
