You can take power from others you can steal it. It is not a very high-grade power. It will give you a certain amount of access to a better life but it corrupts the individual.

In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
