(This piece was an exercise in world-building that was supposed to be, quite literally, ten times shorter than this, so I'm really sorry about it, although it did end up doing some linking plot work as well.)
Books need connective tissue as well as bones. It's good stuff.
None of them had much practical advice for a girl who was rotting things by accident.
(My uneducated-in-proto-Powers suggestion is that she should stop speeding up the time in them.)
If it does, it's to do with the place, not you. You channel something already there, usually in response to a need in the place.
Yay.
"Oh, did you? No wonder you're having nightmares. Perfectly understandable if you've been wandering around with a Barra!"
I've just been reading Dick Francis' Break In (1985), so I heard all of Leion's dialogue in this scene in tones of Fieldings or Allardecks.
I like the re-crossing of the streams with Starfall Manor, too.
