(spoilers) you know i'm still confused about how Kalidah possessed il'Sanke. wasn't he wearing the same kind of amulet that prevented Kalidah from taking the prince, or did I gloss over something?
You know, I’m not sure? He did have an amulet that matched the prince’s but I don’t remember if it said anything about it being able to protect him from possession.
The whole ordeal was pretty confusing for me, too, though. Everyone seemed really sure that Magiere, Chane, and the dogs were automatically immune from possession (for... reasons?), and everyone seemed to think that Wynn would be the most likely target and not, you know, the guy who helped keep Khalidah imprisoned for all those centuries who also has powerful wizard abilities and connections to the prince. I feel like they should have gone into that situation expecting il’Sanke to be targeted and taken precautions to protect him, specifically. Would have saved a lot of trouble.
It wasn’t super clear why their plan to burn Khalidah to death when he escaped his last host failed, either. It seemed like he shouldn’t have even survived that, whether il’Sanke was protected against him or not.
There was a lot about that possession that didn’t quite make sense.
