Dia is part of the Cristo Bloodline, one of 3! The bloodline shares the electrokinesis, meaning Ziolah and Luxein ALSO have it. But Jodiah is the only one with heart problems!
Why is that? Because the electricity builds as their heart beats, and it’s emotion-based. Electricity can be created but it needs somewhere to GO. Luxein uses his powers all the time- he uses it to supercharge (and ultimately fry) the engines he works with. He has more scars because of it. Luxein, similarly to Dia, experienced a rough life, lost his partner, in a rough place, managing best he can. He has unpacked trauma. But, he uses his electricity OFTEN, meaning it never builds up. Dia never uses it unless he has to- meaning it builds, and builds, and builds, until he dispels it or faints. He has enough of a storage to kill a fuchsia. He doesn’t use it on purpose. His mask is the only thing that he uses it for as a failsafe. He doesn’t necessarily NEED to be hot 24/7, but its a safety thing. If anything happens, the energy is there. It’s like a person keeping their nails long, or having a spare key to hold between their fingers when walking.
Ziolah doesn’t have issues because she had the opposite happen: she used so much of her electric storage in one moment that it caused an explosion. Its how she lost her leg and hand! Now, she practices mindfulness and manages her anxiety. She has healthy coping methods. She finds positive, low-powered uses for her powers. Because she never had an emotionally traumatizing event happen to her, she never developed the secondary sedative lime power.
