#i also think people are WAY too lenient on enchantment abilities. far more unsettling than just beating someone up.

Unpopular opinion: a lot of Imogen's charactarization doesn't make sense to me considering the context of Exandria. Why would people act like Imogen talking in their heads is something fantastical when is an ability that many people have and no one ever thought it was weird during the other campaigns (so u imagine is even a bit common). It's kinda like when people try to bring homophobia into CR when, in the conext of the worldbuilding, doesn't make sense
I actually disagree on this one! Sending usually requires you know the person and is very limited in how much you can say, and we did see people react negatively to Jester; but also she frequently messaged fairly high-level mages. (FCG has also gotten some negative responses from people who were unlikely to regularly get Sending).
Telepathy like what Imogen has, as something free and unlimited? That's actually quite rare, and more importantly, it's really rare if you are a random mundane shopkeeper. Like, it actually does make complete sense to me that Percy, despite being an important person who probably receives Sendings from Allura and Pike with some regularity, is unnerved by Imogen just talking telepathically. Frankly it is also weird how much she just...does it to people for no reason. Like, Sending and Message and Rary's Telepathic Bond are typically at a distance, and Imogen will just randomly start talking to people mentally mid-sentence for non-secret statements simply because she can. Even if you're used to telepathic conversation it's going to make people wonder what she's up to.
