"Dearest brother,

As you may have heard, Connor has been misbehaving ever since his father's death. The servants frequently find him out in the woods behind the estate screaming, and just this morning the school threatened to remove him when they caught him with a knife.

I have tried to talk to him but he does not listen to me. It has been three months, and his behaviour is becoming an embarrassment. Given how the two of you are alike in that way, Father and I have decided that he is to accompany you to Keltica. Perhaps the two of you together can make one decent man.

I shall expect him to be a proper young man upon your return.

Your loving sister,
Elise Taarnfalk"

Connor is an emotionally volatile adolescent boy. He loves exploring and is curious to a fault. Recently his high level emotions have resulted in several odd and unexplained occurrences. Though now that he is to accompany his uncle Alexander to Keltica, there is hope that his behaviour will be reigned in.

In all likelihood, however, he's going to go places he isn't allowed, learn things he shouldn't, and discover the means to control his psionic abilities.

Note: Because Connor's still learning about his powers, many of his manifestations will incur some kind of physical manifestation as well.

For instance, Bolt will eventually be just a psychic attack, but currently it will be a sonic scream, as it will be based fairly entirely on his emotions and mood. Healing is likely to have some kind of begging / plea for the person to be okay. From a logical standpoint, I'd imagine it more that his emotion is so strong that their body is bending to his will. With his father's death still fresh in his mind, Connor will be very frightened of losing anyone.

Once the boy becomes more aware of his abilities and how to control them, they will become considerably more subtle.
