Evaluation
On Shing Jea Island, Lo Sha tends to use Imagined Burden first, even on stationary targets. He uses Empathy on targets quite late, usually when they're close to dying. Also, Empathy is Domination Magic, not Illusion Magic. All this makes Lo Sha less useful on the island.

For the later stages of the game, he is a formidable ally who does interrupt and performs hex removal. His interrupt reaction time is incredible, although he doesn't necessarily use it intelligently.

Dialogue
On Shing Jea Island:
 * "I hope Mei Ling is doing alright. She had to stay back at the monastery to guard the others. If she wanted to guard anyone it would be Headmaster Kaa, most likely. I have no idea what she sees in that old man. I hope we get this plague business sorted out soon so things can return to normal around here. Did you need something?"

In Kaineng City:
 * "When Master Togo picked me to come help defeat the plague on the mainland, I was shocked. Of course, he could not send Headmaster Kaa. He would just make a mess of things. But I ache to be away from Mei Ling for so long. Surely he could have found someone else to send.


 * Did you need something?"

When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "I, umm...may have exaggerated my role in things to Mei Ling. Please do not tell her, okay?"

Quotes
Idle quotes in Kaineng City:
 * "At least we left that old fool Kaa on Shing Jea Island."
 * "Has an illusion taken hold of you? Why are we standing in one place for so long?"
 * "I long to gaze into Mei Ling's eyes!"

Battle quotes:
 * "A little trickery should work here."
 * "Don't delude yourself, you can't defeat me."
 * "For Mei Ling!"
 * "I have the power to cloud men's minds!"
 * "I'd like to see Headmaster Kaa do that."
 * "I'll show Mei Ling who the most powerful mesmer is!"
 * "I'll turn their power against them."
 * "Not in the face!"
 * "You can't outwit me!"
