Entity

Odd. The Entity normally wanted him to draw
upon it, use it for its true purpose—as a vast reservoir
to power his spells. With the Entity, he could make
his stolen abilities last weeks under constant use. As it
was, spells he stole from the minds of others usually
faded a few hours after he first employed them. Some
lasted longer, and others vanished after a few minutes,
particularly if he’d been holding them for a while before
their first use.
