#relic of knowledge

I really hope the time fruit that Jaune accidentally used in the Ever After becomes a plot device.

Because, if the heroes for any reason needed to, y'know, bypass the cooldown on the Relic of Knowledge.........

What Knowledge do You Seek?

Jinn Commission from @dragonsinmysky on twitter

I can't get over the RWBY episode "Alone in the Woods". For one thing, it proves Oz's belief that hiding Salem's immortality was the only thing keeping hope alive wrong, as once outside of the Apathy's range of influence the group reassert their drive to protect the Relics. But more importantly, I love how the rest of Team RWBY snap out of their stupor when they hear Ruby scream. They might not have cared about the Lantern at that point, but these girls will never stop caring about one another.

Listen, I love the lost fable, it’s great, it’s so much fun, but it’s really misleading (that’s the point) and a lot of audience members take it at face value.

Two things stick out to me as hints that point to Jinn’s vision being not completely, totally, really the absolute truth:

1. In volume 8, the staff of creation/Ambrosias is revealed to be one of those “give you exactly what you ask for” macguffins, after Oscar tries to go back through the portal and it’s shown the portal is one way, a la “A one-way ticket to Vacuo.”

2. In volume 9, we’re told by the tree that the brothers Grimm were “born” simultaneously. The god of light is Not the elder brother. In the lost fable Jinn says, “It was here the elder brother dwelled beside his fountain,“ & “…all while careful to make no mention of [the god of darkness]’s elder,” and we now know this to be false.

Bring these two pieces together (and other things but were focusing on point 1 & 2 for brevity) and we’re meant to find Jinn’s vision suspect.

What did Ruby ask Jinn again?

“What is Ozpin hiding from us?”

So, what Jinn showed them was not The Truth. But what Ozpin thinks, what Ozma believes, to be true.

And the characters took that vision at face value, but we the audience are meant to question it.

I don’t know if this has been talked about before but the conditions placed on the Relics are the antithesis of what each of them stands for.

The Lamp of Knowledge limits the number of answers anyone can ask, basically 3 per lifetime (unless you’re Oz or Salem and can loophole that shit).

The Staff of Creation destroys what was previously created (delete your art).

The Crown of Choice creates indecision by showing you all the little ways your future choices could cause you potential harm (Fairytales of Remnant, The Indecisive King, although that might have just been whatever Oz has going on).

Which makes me wonder what the condition (or perhaps the price) is for the Sword of Destruction. It has to be something opposite of its purpose, based on the pattern, but creating something isn’t really a price, per se, unless maybe you’re forced to create a monster? More Grimm? Another Salem? Does Oz even know what this one does? Has it ever been used before?

Ren: *sitting and drinking some tea then turns his head to his best friend and honorary brother* so... what's it like being married to a spirit?

Jaune: well...at first I thought it was unworldly but as turns out she not so bad.

Ren: I mean I can imagine she's very happy, being stuck in a bottle for hundreds of years can be quite lonely.

Jaune: you have no idea, I didn't think it was possible but she does have physical mass so not like my hand will go through her.

Ren: that's good hear Jaune but really I don't need to know what you and Jinn do behind closed doors.

Jaune: sorry, Yang's been hanging around too much.

Ren: ah I see, say no more.

Jaune: but I'll say this the benefits of being married to Jinn she broke her one rule and allowed me to ask her any and all questions so long as it is within her knowledge, the future stuff is still a rule but otherwise, she's amazing.

Jinn: oh my I see you're talking about ole me *snuggles up to Jaune*

Jaune: only good things.

Ren: how's Ozpin feeling about this?

Jaune: he hates it, because he knows this is my biggest middle finger to him after what he did to Pyrrha, so we're rubbing this in his face.

I might have a 3rd nitpick, but I might just be overthinking it. So I want to know your thoughts before I start it.

When you hear the words "Relic of Knowledge," what does it make you think.

And I'm not talking about Jinn, the character. Although i do have issuse with her. Ignore her she doesn't matter. Focus on the name "the relic of knowledge" or the concept/idea of such item?

What do you think such a thing can do. What is it purpose? Why would such a thing be made? I want your opinion as I think I might be overthinking it.
