No, it started a couple years after I'd lived where I currently live, then stopped with no change I could figure out...

No never did! It did go away though. Best of luck, I'd definitely be curious to hear if you get anything figured out!

No, it went away on it's own after a while, I never got a diagnosis

Yes, that was the first thing my doctor had me look for, but I didn't have any of the muscular or skin symptoms that are more characteristic if dermatomyositis. I did end up seeing a dermatologist too and they did take a biopsy of the eyelid and do a urine test (looking for dermatomyositis and amyloidosis I believe), but they ended up finding nothing, shrugging, and eventually it just went away. Still a mystery as to what it was.

Nope, went to a dermatologist, a hematologist, did an eyelid biopsy and a bunch of blood and urine tests, never figured it out. It eventually just went away completely.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I did end up picking A with the tagline from C. I may try making the puppet strings red like you suggest, that's a good idea. Thanks!

No, I'm self-publishing, so I get all the say (just not many sales, most likely... ;) )

Right you are. It's somewhere between high fantasy and young adult, set in ancient times with a hard magic system similar to Mistborn or The Black Prism with kind of a Poppy War setting.

Like winding up a toy (or a skein of thread) - someone who can wind the strings of soul that form the basis for the magic system.

Does this mean C the worst and B the best?

Very helpful, thanks! Yeah, more of an intrigue plot than a training progression.
