Likely something similar to what happened to them.
I was teleported from where I stood and ended up out in the wilderness outside the City of Ice. A chimera was originally all we had to deal with, and it attacked us almost immediately on our arrival, so we had no time to plan.
While we were attempting to get it under control, we were attacked by two other witches, who made it clear they were there to kill all five of us and take the bounty of the creature for themselves. Naturally, none of us took kindly to that, but they were far more powerful than any of us. [He might have gotten yeeted off into the wilderness once or twice by sheer force. Don't worry about it.]
Ithaqua and I were able to subdue one of them... Sophie. She broke into mana stones as soon as she perished. That enraged the other, Eva, who said Sophie was her apprentice. She was beside herself and turned the entire battlefield into a blizzard in the process and started attacking wildly.
One of our number was in such dire straights, I felt one of us had to take more drastic action. So I took up Sophie's mana stones, and taunted Eva in my direction by devouring them, hoping that she would lose her control of her magic in her distress.
I crossed a pretty severe line, which we didn't realize until Eva did, in fact, start losing control, except in a very dangerous fashion. She started emitting shockwaves that were hitting most of us rather hard, and she'd taken me as a target on top of that. Due to the blizzard, the amount of injuries, and the fact that we had to maneuver the chimera on top of that, none of us could reach one another for healing or even protective barriers outside of a few moments.
So I committed to my role, and let those that had the better position do what they needed. I may have my disagreements... but in that, at least, I felt I could trust each and every one of them, even if they would not trust me.
Eventually we were successful, and the rock was exposed from the belly of the beast. We purified it, and I remember Tatara and G'raha arriving...
...Well, and then I woke up in here. So I suppose I must have used up what little I had left.
