[Ah, how he hates explaining these things... but compared to explaining the specifics of his magic, the terms of his now severed pact with The Tower are pretty cut and dry.]
You remember our old friend The Tower, don't you? It came to me to form a pact, granting me the strength needed to topple entire cities in an instant... but that power came with a prix.
Should The Tower's pactbearer fail to destroy their target even once, every ounce of destruction they've wrought will be dealt back to them. If the pactbearer dies halfway through the ordeal, they'll be brought back as many times as it takes to repay their sins in full.
[Lobelia isn't the least bit reluctant to speak about the ordeal he'd gone through, which is telling in its own way. He died without regret over and over again, enjoying every second of it.]
It was in those deaths that I found the true form of my happiness! Ah, but then our gracious hosts refused to let The Tower perform its duties, destroying it after a time. We hadn't even gotten to the best part before they reduced the poor thing to rubble.
