What was your worst symptoms when acclimating to a new spirit?

[Astraea Selene]

When I had my wraiths coming to me, each times I have noticed my thoughts temporarily was sawing ideals about revenge .

It was rather amusing.... Because it's out of character of me. Then I have realised it was my dark art fiends influences brushed on me.

So to keep them busy, they got a task. They have to stare at my enemies at night in they bedrooms. They can also give them nightmares. Lol... My wraiths living through rather boring days lately. I don't usually have an enemies.

They are also tasked with dimensional protection.

Y'all, I feel much better today!

Still not all the way back to normal, but better. The other day I was kept up until 4 am! Last night just till 1 am so I got that ever so important 3 extra hours of sleep.

Feeling extra nauseous but less heavy. May have a bit of a fever or I just feel like I do. So I can actually do something today but not a lot. I'll take it.

I mentioned it in a different post but I'll stick it here too.

I say my Djinn's feet yesterday a bit before I went to bed. She's got some small feet, with gold bangles around her ankles. It's both cool and weird to see a random body part instead of the whole thing. This has happened before but with some random unbound spirit that was passing by. Not feet but legs.

Hmm, tbf I haven't really had that much trouble acclimating to darker arts companions, however I do sometimes feel tired or how to describe it... hmm... like my body becomes heavier and my chest tightnes a bit when I work with my Drac. It usually happens during longer pendulum sessions or during spellcasting with his aid. If I talk to him through telepathy while I lay down it's usually easier on me and the symptoms aren't really noticeable.

I've been aware of his presence in my life for the last 2 years and I'm still getting used to those. His energy is rather strong, in your face and heavy to be fair. His personality is quirky and enjoyable once you get to know him even if he's rather... "emo" haha.

I think depression and veeeeeryyyy dark thoughts was the worst. I don't remember first time, but I notice it last time when Wraith was bonded. I was really afraid. Lol.
Now I know and put new rule "Not to affect my mood" lol

I can't say anything about djins since I don't have any in my keep.
However, I think the 'worst' acclimating symptom was an on going migraine for a week (tho don't remember who caused it). Sure, first talking to my Ajatar got me feeling enough pressure that it was harder to breathe; the pressure was gone after I asked her to make it so that my breathing isn't affected. Never had that issue again.
So if it gets too much, ask them to ease up on the intensity of the symptoms you're experiencing. Just saying, I know you said you don't wanna do that tho.
Good luck on your journey!
