Experiment adjusted
So since just blocking my energy intake didn't work, I practiced a different exercise. After putting up protection, I focused on taking in energy to an amount I felt comfortable with. I then formed a sort of energetic armor around me to try to seal that energy in while preventing any more from coming in at the same time.
I think an hour passed before I started to feel that familiar sensation that I had taken in too much energy. So my exercise didn't seem to fully work, I am still taking in energy. I have no idea if I am still "leaking" energy or not. I'm not sure how to tell that, aside from spirits being attracted to me randomly. Which none have shown up as of yet but they generally don't unless I am actively working magic.
