I wouldn't get your thoughts about the information. But if you know the sky is purple, then I'd know it too. And if you knew the reason the sky was purple because you studied it, I'd get that too. But I won't be able to see a purple sky from your memory, or look at purple with longing. Also I hope your sky isn't actually purple because being here would be weird then.
[Overwhelmed by sensory experience was right, but there was something even more than that.]
Honestly, with different people teaching me as I grew up, my power could easily have driven me to a pure 'ends justify the means' belief and I might have taken over the world. Simple as that. As for how it feels, yes, I feel more limited. Like looking at the world through a layer or two of gauze over my eyes would be for vision. But it's also less fatiguing. And I get to know people because they want me to know them.
I think I like that better. Learning for myself but being able to fall back on what I am if I need to. I like being able to make a difference, though I'll admit, I'd rather be someone's second rather than in charge on my own.
[The touch, though... oh Balthier doesn't know how much that means. He'd spent more than a year barely able to touch anyone without completely shutting his power down, and even this much earns a relieved sigh from him, though he tried to be subtle about it.]
My other powers are probably better to explain when you understand this world better, or maybe need comes up. Those two are the core ones, the ones that most make me, well, me.
