I haven't gotten the book yet, so hey, that just means I get to comment on the final annotation before I read the final tome
. So ha.
The mists enter the room here, which is--again--intentional. A lot of these things have to do with the deeper worldbuidling we won't get into until book three. However, suffice it to say that they were forced to enter by something.
Well, there you have it. Ruin is acting through the mists--Ruin is controlling the Deepness to go in. Now I'm strongly convinced of that fact.
Vin learning to control the kandra is also something that had to be twisted together so that it could be used here. I wanted this knowledge to be there for use later in the book, and for the next book, so I figured this was a good place to begin introducing it as a major aspect of the magic system.
"Major aspect of the magic system". Hmmm, according to my massive theory post, I infer that it is Hemalurgy, but there could be something else going on here.
Anyways, I guess I will know the answers tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure this will be my last post until I finish the book. I'll see you on the other side of the river!
