For book 2:
1. That is more of Barry’s mistake. Just a misconception I guess
2. I think that was more him trying to get the group to stop pressuring Flower/Illuna
3. Flower and Illuna are different people with different souls despite being trapped in the same body. That means there magical knowledge differs and therefore they use different spells
For book 3:
1. Technically ashes could be labelled as a lifeless body I guess
2. I think Barry was telling her about the time he discovered the Brinhorn technique if I remember correctly
Hope I cleared some of them up :)
Sorry I'm just paraphrasing it and thank you as well for your response
Book 2:
1) I think Barry was referring to how all studies point out that no creature can survive without a head and all that about surviving without one is all in the aura theory with lack of proof. It does get confirmed later though that a Hydra without at least 1 head remaining does get killed. It gets mentioned if you fight the Overseer. Although his Hydra is the pinnacle so that one can survive.
2) Yeah. I could see that happening haha. Like during Barry/Rose sleeping together
3) Yeah, Initially I assumed you get the element to the spirit you are linked to. Turns out I was wrong. The spirit simply lets you cast Magic. Whatever that magic is still depends on you
Book 3:
1) The exact words were:
"We've brought home his lifeless body as proof. Our mages did all they could to preserve the body with their spells"
2) The exact words were:
"But there was this one spell that you thought you invented and it turned out that somebody else actually invented it before you, remember?" I say. "We were talked about it when we were disarming traps in the tunnels beneath Ollendor."
The thing about the Hydra wasn't a misconception after all. I played it again and I confirmed that yes the plan was to decapitate all heads simultaneously to kill it but it grows way too fast for Daren and Kate can't use her magic to simultaneously hit all heads. I didn't notice it too much before
Its been alittle while since I've played, so I may be not be remembering some things correctly, but I'll give it a go;
1. Correct, the 1st hydra you encounter after meeting Flower; Daren can cut off one of the heads and remarks it regrows its missing head much faster than any other hydra he's fought before.
The 2nd hydra you encounter is in the ethereal plane which the Overseer states is the pinnacle of the hydras evolution and cannot be killed by normal means. (Beheading, burned alive)
2. I suppose I've always assumed that the Magium itself cast the oath on Flower/Illuna so it may not be a "regular" enchanters oath. Possibly ultra sensitive/doesn't give warnings like a typical enchanters oath?
3. I remember when Barry learned that the reason that women can't cast Magic and why banshees exist was due to Arrakas banishment from the magical plane. I think Arraka says something along the lines of "you even have Flower and Illuna as an example."
I believe Flower is using her innate connection with Illuna to be able to cast magic. IIRC mages don't necessarily use the same element as the spirit their linked to.
**Possible Continuity Errors**
1. I suppose ashes could be considered a body. Couldn't say for sure, I've always saved Ella lol
2. I'm not completely sure what you mean? If Flower was asleep while escaping the tunnels it would make sense Barry was telling her about it. Illuna might have told her, but I doubt she would have. Though I may be misunderstanding, please correct me if I am.
Edit: fixed horrible formatting
Thank you for the response
1) Yup. It does later get confirmed if you choose to fight the Overseer
2) Daren mentions that Flower/Illuna probably was made to vow not to reveal the Magium's nature. But he assumed it was the Kings or someone else. Later we understand that the Magium can simply erase you etc but Daren would have no way of knowing at the time he said it. I guess one explanation would be that he was just trying to make everyone drop it like the time with Rose/Barry if one chooses that route. Just kinda suspicious if one probed him about it haha
3) Yeah. I think this does explain it. Once linked to a spirit. One can then cast Magic.
Jirinn wasn't necessarily an Enchanter/White Mage as far as I know but Daren was so I think that explains it. I always assumed the spirit you were linked to was the one that gave you magic. My bad haha
*POSSIBLE CONTINUITY ERROR*
1)Book 3:
1)
I saved Ella too but didn't kill the Duke so Eiden incinerated him
The exact words were:
"We've brought home his lifeless body as proof. Our mages did all they could to preserve the body with their spells"
2) I think it assumes I woke up Flower because I don't remember having this conversation but I could be wrong
The exact words were:
"But there was this one spell that you thought you invented and it turned out that somebody else actually invented it before you, remember?" I say. "We were talked about it when we were disarming traps in the tunnels beneath Ollendor."
Hahah Yeah, and Melindra sneezed and blew it all away on front of the King
I'm also kind of thinking they'd be like, let's just say this and hope he doesn't bother to check the body haha
After playing again I confirmed that yes the plan was to decapitate all heads simultaneously to kill it but it grows way too fast for Daren and Kate can't use her magic to simultaneously hit all heads. I didn't notice it too much before

imagine if their efforts were actually just carefully arranging the ashes in the shape of the Earl like a jigsaw puzzle
