I can certainly see HP sacrifices being extremely painful (and slow to recover from) but what about FP sacrifices? Is there a "safe limit" that a person could donate without causing excessive discomfort? For example, giving some FP but remaining above the 3 FP level to avoid the associated penalties.

In fact, what exactly does an HP sacrifice look like? Does the mage just "lay on hands" and drain "life essence" from the subject, or do they have to perform a physical action to injure themselves?
