In-universe, it has been understood by all cultures for millennia that too much lifeforce can be lethal, so it is extremely rare for someone to try to steal lifeforce from other people for themselves. | In-universe, it has been understood by all cultures for millennia that too much lifeforce can be lethal, so it is extremely rare for someone to try to steal lifeforce from other people for themselves. | ||
For those that do try though, they are usually perceived as evil villains in society, and frowned upon. Forcefully absorbing lifeforce into one's body from another's body against the will of the secondary party also does not physically feel good, and will even hurt both parties, which is also an easy deterrent for some people to not try in the first place. | |||
However, some people will willingly share their lifeforce with each other, and this can feel good on occasion, especially if it's an emergency where someone has lost a lot of lifeforce. This has lead to some bad characters and villains to attempt to befriend the person whose lifeforce they want to steal first, in order to have lifeforce willingly shared to them. | |||
