I've heard about the collars that neutralize a person's magical abilities.
Do they still use those in this new Verdana?
If so, how do they react when used on a non-human?
Are they turned human too or are their abilities simply taken away?

Do you mind if I ask you a favour?

They do still have them. I wore one for my first full moon back. As far as I can tell, it will simply cut you off from any non-human abilities, not change anything physically about you. It did not, for example, make my body temperature and breathing rate go up to that of a normal mortal, but it did take away my ability to heal quickly.

Does that help?

Define not human.

Akito, why are you even asking about the collars?

[Sorry Akito, the Druid really doesn't do text.]

I don't think it's something you really have to worry about much. That was something the Outer Authorities used but... we're kind of playing on the same team now.

Akito - no! I know nothing of these collars, but I cannot imagine that you would wish to subject yourself to one of them. Please use discretion when discussing such things lest you bring harm to yourself. I would be very sad, if you were injured.

That said - can you possibly forgive me for missing the party to celebrate your birth? There were... circumstances beyond my control.

From what I understand, they take anyone wearing them back to human baseline. I couldn't use my biotics when I had one put on me -- I could try the mnemonics for them, but nothing would happen.

If you've got three people willing to take it off you the second anything started freaking you out, I still have the one they put on me... although I guess they put it on me for a different reason in this timeline. Or maybe I just had it for some other reason.

It's confusing, but to make a long offer short, I still have one on hand I could dig out if you want to experiment.

Does this have to do with your question earlier about those collars?

Of course not. What do you need?
