I want to help him by means of a spell lifting the dark cloud surrounding him. but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. I really need some advice of what i should do. I have a strong feeling inside telling me I should do something but not sure of I should because I don't want to accidently hurt him.
If I was in your place, I would ask him if he wanted a little magical assistance before just doing any spells. Maybe if you tell him, in your own words, what you see in him, it would work magic all its own.
