(Terminus can't cast magic without hurting himself anyway XD. It would just make it seem even more sinister and evil, like some sort of fucked up blood magic)

Terminus continued to read. Mainly because of interest, and not because he intended to use the spells. His body had reached a point where he only cast magic via his left hand, via unnatural refining of his warped magical energy. This normally caused effects like Bleeding and burst blood vessels.

And normally that would disable his left hand for at least a while, if he actually cast. Which was a good reason to not actually try anything in the book. Knowing wasn't bad, though, even if his body was incompatible with spell usage. Knowledge, even forbidden knowledge, was always useful. He could teach the spell to others.

Terminus knew no tomes contained knowledge on how to use his ability - he had to expand those horizons himself. It was more of a superpower that ran on his magical energy than an actual spell.

(I thought Risanne can't learn magic XD. I notice she doesn't have Terminus' limit of self hurt when casting, though.)
