Huh, this is a very interesting idea that I don't believe I've ever seen done before. The mutilation seems a little... severe, there are other methods I can think of to achieve a similar effect, but they'd be incredibly brutal surgeries all the same; I guess the thing that bugs me the most is that they're essentially giving up a large portion of their abilities, telekinesis is no small thing after all. Nonetheless I'm curious to see how this develops, and I can't help but wonder why Twilight and the others would be in such stern opposition of them; sure they're brutally maiming themselves in the name of greater power, but isn't it their bodies, their decision?
