You're told it isn't "normal" but you're also told by everyone that takes a look that they really have no idea what's going on, when/if it could trigger or how screwed you are. Every time you use the thing you get warnings of damage being caused and as for the the "true souls", they're sleepers and you have no knowledge of when or how they could be triggered. Cyberpunk, for a recent example, has this same issue where you're told you're pretty well screwed but then you run can run around picking daisies for months with 0 consequences.
