Since then I think I've become obsessed ha! welcome to sounis! You will fit in beautifully with all of us other obsessed fans.
The key with the Gift is that it not be taken for oneself. Gen could steal it (and have the immortality, and visits from Moira) because he was never stealing it with the idea of becoming King of Eddis himself. He was stealing it (as a very well behaved tool) for the Magus to give to Sounis, and he stole it (as the queen's thief) to give to Eddis. Never for himself.
