There is more out there than Just Layonara, and some work in more postitive ways, and some in more negative. You must, as I've seen seek balance in these things, for that is a simple (or perhaps, temporary as I have not further investigated) way of dealing with them.
Example. A positive energy Rift will all but disappear when charged with negative energy.
Treat these things as a balancing act or else keep your distance from them.
'tis a pity though, that those I was traveling with seem no longer interested in things that may be a danger to all of Layonara.
