You will also find out Isaik runs interverted to how Salkeen does for individuals of interest. So unless your a homunculus, you are actually free to do whatever you like almost all the time, Isaik will periodically communicate things he desires to be done and how can be more left up to you. Basically Salkeen’s control is like high school, you go to school and you get scheduled weekends. Isaik is like college, you have classes and assignments that will be assigned and due, if you fail them you get in trouble. Izzabelle will be free to stay or go when her tasks are completed, Isaik has more faith that his minions actually have a brain. A good example is when Isaik is commanding Salkeen to say conquer a planet, Salkeen can go off and do whatever goals and plans he wants after.
Oh no my dear I didn’t mean using my raw power, I mean it in another way. The one you will be fighting is skilled in killing those with magic and power. It would be unwise to rely on magical force against this threat! However you can however use such bonds to empower yourself to move faster, hit harder, be more stealthy.
What I mean to say is that if you form a rift and send a incredible blast at this foe, it’s likley it will come flying back at you! However your target is physically weaker, once you get past the dangers likely to occur on the battlefield his combat in melee is significantly weaker than yours. This is however refering to the first and most likely version of him.
