Eh, the meter siphoning wasn’t bad (unless you were fulgore then SOL for you then). But the curses were fragile and only lasted a measly 8 seconds which at this point in the game…pales in comparison to the stacking curses.
Yeah… that might be a little broken. I just really really really like meter thievery. 
It’s why I mess w/ Shago.
I would glady give revert spinal to S2. Would be even better for me in the long run.
