What is it about villains causing themselves physical harm for a power boost that just... works so well for me?
Like, look at this cool magic thing I found, let me just JAM IT IN TO MY OWN SKELETON TO HARNESS ITS POWER.
Maybe it's a weird subversion of expectations, like 'oh, that guy just stabbed himself, he should be weaker if not straight up dead', but nope! Phase 2 health bar refill!
I can't stop thinking about it. I may need help.
