[ The more she learns, the more complex this situation sounds. The way she sealed Calamity Ganon was simple by comparison, and even that took everything Zelda had to offer. ]

Let me see if I am understanding the situation correctly thusfar:

- The patient is effected their own magic.
- Their magic is necessary to exist in their desired state.
- They are unable to consistently control their magic.
- An overabundance of this magic causes the patient to lose control of their mind.
- Said overabundance makes the patient more susceptible to nightmare energy.

The simplest solution would be to seal the patient's magic entirely, but it sounds like that is not a viable option.

Suppressing the amount of magic inside the patient could work, but there are potential drawbacks. If they are a "wellspring" of magic, so to speak, then a seal could only contain the magic for so long. Eventually, enough magic would build up beneath the seal to rupture it. For instance, if you put a lid on a barrel but continued pumping water into it, the barrel would eventually explode from the pressure.

Of course, if only a finite amount of magic exists inside the patient, then it would not be too troublesome to seal away a portion of it.
