Shifting power dynamics between humans and spirits
Bruh, why is no one talking about Ameâs insight of Mirara? âItâs about humanity being brought to heelâ how thatâs Mirara and by implication The King of Nights real goal here. Itâs why Ame mentions going to war with humanity. As far as Iâm aware, Wizardry is the only form of magic that isnât tied to spirits in some way. The sorcerers get power because of their lineage, and warlocks get it through deals, while Witches get their power through their connection to their domain and druids through nature itself. Itâs a type of magic that the spirits have no control over because it bypasses them completely to influence the universe directly.
The spirits have been top dog for the longest time, and they are getting nervous because their position of unassailable power is no longer unassailable. Humanity is now starting to catch up and doesnât have to bow, plead and beg for power from the spirits anymore because theyâve found how to gather power for themselves.
Weâve seen the spirits be just as callous with Human life. Orima didnât give a shit if the majority of people in Port Talon had nothing to do with Naramâs imprisonment, if they were in her way she was going to kill them. The King of Night is implied to be using necromancy to bolster his army.
Also, everything Suvi said is 100% correct. Tefmet either doesnât have 100% reliable information (the derelict has been destroyed for months) or more likely she is using the threat of it as a political tool against the citadel. Everything that was shown paints a bad picture about the citadel, but that was the whole point. If you are arguing to destroy your archenemy, you cherry pick your argument and donât take time out of your presentation to go âthese are a few of the things the citadel has done that you might agree withâ. Ame and Eursolon always seem so ready to accept the worst about people who have done nothing but try and help them, while the people who tried to kill her are to be trusted as allies, and have no sketchy motives.
Iâve loved the last few episodes but I donât think the conflict is going to be as clear cut as spirits are good, and wizards are bad.
TLDR; The citadel isnât pure evil, the spirits are just as big assholes as everyone else and are more worried about being overtaken as the dominant power in the world.
