Oh, okay, so you're worried that being awake and under the influence of something will make you lose control.
[He nods- he knows exactly what that fear like.]
Maybe chloroform would be best, then... I can't think of anything that would knock you out faster. And it's liquid, so if kept in a sealed container, it could be reused. It might give you a headache though, and it's not healthy to be exposed to it often, so you'd have to use it sparingly. Nitrous oxide would be safer, but I can't figure out how we'd dose it since it's purely gas.
[But the fact that Tox immediately moves on to the solution is... not entirely what he expected, but something he's grateful for. The idea of chloroforming himself isn't the most appealing thought, but if needs must...]
Of course. I can handle a headache, but I certainly wouldn't want to overdo it—something like that I'd use for particularly rough nights only. Perhaps with time I'll be able to get a better handle on it and I could use a different solution.

Is there anything else I can do to help? I might be able to offer advice on the magic control, though yours might be very different from mine.
