How cognitive functions manifest is influenced by both the emotions and mental state of the person using the function, and the development of the cognitive function itself.
When emotions and mental states are underdeveloped or unhealthy, cognitive functions can be used as weapons. Someone with a talent for handling knives might use it to cook or to stab someone to death. The healthier a person is, the more likely they are to use the tool (for example, a knife) for cooking. The more unhealthy a person is, the more likely they are to use that talent to "stab someone to death."
