![]() VD plays the role of antagonist, and Life is a distant, mysterious ally. Seconding the surprise that the tattoos survived.Įspecially if the Lady also has a vessel there’s only so many character arcs that Red can write about primordial possession before the comic becomes saturated with it but Life’s role would feel copy-pasted onto Fire, Lightning and whatever elemental mages join. ![]() Life seems to reset to factory settings, not just physically I agree. I really hope that Dainix isn’t the vessel of Fire. ![]() We know that the soul can be broached by…ġ) Life only because of her Healing powers (but although she can supersede free will, she won’t) Ģ) the Void Dragon, but he has to wait till his vessel is unconscious and his vessel can fight him and perhapsģ) the Light Dragon because soul is her essence, but … maybe by only those who’ve made an effort to touch her mind? That the Light Dragon’s champion has to choose to because she’s all about free will? On the topic of the Twins, free will, and the soul… what if the Light dragon interceded to give humans souls or a subtle kind of soul magic? And the Light dragon interceding is what protected the first Elemental Magus from being taken over by the VD? I’m hoping Dainix is something we haven’t seen before in this world. In that case, no other Elemental has the power to command vessels. Their former elemental power can be utilized, but they can’t broach the soul. We know Life is an exception, and that’s why Life magic is so suspect and dangerous. We see how difficult it is for Voidy to do it. We may soon see how the Light dragon operates. I think the soul and free will precludes Dainix being Fire’s vessel. So I was right when I said that Dainix was scarring Erin’s tattoos… sort of. I’m also surprised that life magic healed them. Who put them there, and how are they so durable? Was it the soulshaper monks, ingraining them into his soul as well as his body? Perhaps it was Asera, or one of Erin’s professors at the academy? (I lean towards the former, but we shall see. ![]() You’re not as alone in that opinion as you think you are. I like the uniqueness of each of the protagonists’s origins having two thirds of the group turn out to be primordial avatars would feel like too incredible a coincidence to be true. While Stormbreakers and Crucibles do not predate the discoveries of their respective primordials’s true names (according to Red on Tumblr), those discoveries do not seem to have resurrected them like The Collector resurrected Life, probably due to Life’s properties making her much harder to permanently kill than her compatriots. Water isn’t going to help The Void Dragon here (though since he doesn’t know that yet, he might try). Tahraim told Dainix, “I’ve seen soulfire burn at the bottom of the ocean.” If an entire ocean couldn’t extinguish it, then a hearty magical splash certainly can’t. He knew he was the demon he was sent to hunt and was terrified when he lost control and started to transform. I don’t know how much he remembers of it, but that does indicate at least one full transformation before this one. Ooh, I like this theory! It would make a lot of sense as to why he has to touch the tattoos, as well–if they act like a specialized circuit, then he would have to actively break it to access his magic, and his touch might to that–flipping a switch so that instead of automatically bleeding off his magic, it pools and becomes useable for a short time. We’re all aware that she’s an excellent storyteller and is well-versed in tropes (in fact, several of us found out about Aurora through OSP and her Trope Talks), but even writers with decades of experience can falter, and tropes are tropes for a reason.
