To further explain the above, there is a different universe where magic is scarce and people are discribed as addicts. At some point there is a magical item that is described in an addictive manor as it tries to get people to use it (like the ring in Lord of the Rings).

The whipping occurs in chapter 3 of part 3 of the novel, an important distinction. Perhaps the users above should read the title pages, or go back to watching Bluey.

A consistent theme in the book is people being possessed by living magic or by the main villains using magic. When possessed by living magic, it kills the individuals.

Main character cuts his arm repeatedly for magical spells throughout the first few chapters; I haven’t read further to know if it is mentioned more later but it seems to be a basic mechanic of the world. So far it is not related to mental health or extremely graphic, but the act and its effects are described frequently.

Rhy is a little egotistical and comes off as flirtatious when talking to his adopted brother Kell, but they are never romantically involved. I was concerned when I first started reading that their relationship would get weird but it stays brotherly.

Bard is described as living off the streets and relying on short term solutions for places to live. Not talked about or mentioned too much other than her having to be really street smart.

Someone is restrained in a magical bubble of water, but does not drown. Running low on breath is described as the character panics a little in the situation.
