You feeling weird about my accounts doesn't really affect me, to be quite honest.

That is perfectly understandable. They are your accounts, not mine. That is why I asked if you planned to, not requested that you do.

Glad we cleared that up.

Steel is willing to do Q&A and Talk To Each Other as well, FYI.

Hi steel! why did you became a shaper?

Steel: "Not being a shaper is a waste of time. I can do more than otherwise possible with it, and the drawbacks are not sufficient to outweigh the benefits."

Where Cloudbank's magical powers come from? Do they ever have something like the rare strong power?

Locally divergent physics. No.

I get that this isn’t really measurable, but how much does power strength vary? I assume it does some; it would be weird if all telekinetics could move the exact same amount of stuff or something.

They're basically Gift or Aurum witches-lite. Some are stronger, some are weaker, some are useless, some happen to be functionally identical.
