      My personal head canon is that Sam is sat at home reading ads to himself.
      Turns out the deal with sponsors is that Sam reads the ads, said nothing about whether he would be on camera at the time.

    The Aeor lore this episode was insane. I know EXU calamity touched on how fucked some of these mage cities during the Age of Arcanum were, but to chain a literal demon to the engine of your city and use his constant death and return to power it is massively dystopian. The sheer, unrivaled hubris of thinking you can control something that powerful indefinitely, without consequence, is mind boggling.

      They're both characters that let Matt exist in the world. They're both powerful wizards, with ties to important governing bodies, who are both rainbow representatives. I'd say that Essek (at least in the eyes of a party that didn't see him 7 years ago) is a bit more Matt than he intends.

    Isn’t it strange that despite the removal of longstanding enchantments with the Everlasting Apogee Solstice, everything seems to be untouched within Aeor? The time bubble and even the lights are still functional. Could it be that Ludinus warded the city, or achieved a semblance of what Lucien was trying to achieve; did he use Threshold Crests to move Aeor to another plane momentarily when the wave of anti-magic was used? Or is there some other reason why everything still functions?

    • @aaronhartmann5661
      @aaronhartmann5661 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      It's most likely that, since the weave of magic was already kinda fucked around aeor, perhaps it functions as it's own little pocket of Leylines and wellsprings. This allowed it to possibly remain relatively untouched from the greater portion of Exandrias dispelling. Perhaps it was affected to a minor degree, but the magic around this place is incredibly warped and very strong.
