The Chessmaster: Blackwell to the extreme.Diana does the same in 'Family', since she's lost her father and can't handle having dark magic.But Now I Must Go: Jake does this after saving Cassie, though he soon returns.Cassie has suffered just as much, though, what with being manipulated into making Adam forget his love for her and then losing her grandmother, her only blood family aside from her half-sister and their father.
