Dear Chancellor,
Unfortunately, as we discussed at our last appointment, I must advise against taking another dose of witching blood so soon after the last. Although Mr. Álvaro’s dynamics, like Mr. Shirazi’s, are comparable to your own, excessive use of Mr. Álvaro’s magic will eventually burn him out. Perhaps he would not go fevermad as quickly as the original, weaker witching donors. But as we saw with Mr. Shirazi, death of the donor is ultimately unavoidable.
Again, I recommend you conserve your magic expenditure for the sake of your own health as well as the donor’s. You should remember to drink water and to rest.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Hillary
