I did it.

I pulled on a single wisp of flame to create an effect and I didn't set any of my own feathers on fire.

I hope I didn't singe anybody nearby. I know the heat startled at least one person I care about. I'm sorry about that. This is... well, so weird and unfamiliar. And I'm so not used to it, not like this.

@orrery The strangest thing for me, once my refactor was complete and my codebase reindexed to normalize my affect, was encountering circumstances that would have usually caused issues and no longer did.

It took a while to stop socially reacting as though I were in distress. Retraining habits takes awareness and practice.

(I mean, could have just had those overwritten too, but where's the fun in that? n.n)

Also: congratulations.
