He nearly "burned himself out" when he fell uncoscious in the middle of using magic, scorching his right hand heavily, damaging his right eye (which now he can still see through, although not well, but has little control over it's direction and so sometimes when he's using his power  it rolls around) and getting severe burns on other parts of his body, then fell into a trance for several weeks before awakening, sane, but with the demon sleeping inside of him.

Also, I'm confused by why you need to have the pillar of the opposite of your core personality trait. Stigmas only regain their sanity if it's: A: Slapped into them by a loved one, or, B: Slapped into them by a Stigma that's in control of themselves.

Magic is irrational. Humans are normally rational beings. Our personalities are rational given our existence. Ergo, an irrationality would be that magic stems from the thing we are furthest from. More what I meant was that he became half-insane, not absolutely, but usually his sane side is strong-willed enough to control his insanity ("usually" *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*), although you can tell he's not perfectly sane.
