OKAY SO.

MonkeyspoilersThere's not really any inherent 'danger' of opening the chakras, as shown in lore. The seventh and fourteenth chakras require killing to open (except in the case of the Warrior of Light because he/she is special. Apparently the power of fucking friendship is enough in his/her case). It can be said that the danger in opening the sixth is that someone else with six can come after you to open the seventh. Similarly, the danger in opening the thirteenth is that someone else with thirteen can come after you to open the fourteeth. As it is, lorewise, there's no innate danger. You just gain power. The power-hungriness that we see in the Monk Quests is more attributed to the characters themselves than the chakras they open
.

However! It's quite fine for you to apply dangers and limits to opening chakras for your own characters! The power comes from the self once they are opened, and because of that, there's a lot of room for individual flair. If you want to put a few dangers in place for your character, have at it! If you want them to have an easy time of having an open chakra, go right ahead. 

In the case of Berrod, I applied limits to all of his, and dangers should they be abused. It was really a measure of ensuring that the character doesn't come across as OP, but it ended up working nicely into his story (First, Fourth, and Sixth drain him [the sixth much more than the others!], the second is...lol. Well that's a funny one. The third one can hurt both friend and foe if he isn't careful, the fifth requires finesse or BAM, he runs into a wall or something)
