So much so, than Kenos has made it manifest into a power, in that he can read, see, and feel out someone's worst deisres, and push them to make them manifest, encourage people to Take and to exact a price from a world that has taken so much from him.

Shame. I'm usually such a good judge of people.

[ He doesn't sound all that disappointed. ]
