Yes and it does make sense. If we believe that many or all spheres can be connected, if many of them have conduits of their own similar to the monoliths, there has to be big picture a source for magic that stretches between them. And the magic here is so powerful.
[ The mages from home are dwindling and while there is Chaos and magic in their sphere, it is nothing compared to what is in the air permanently around them every day here. Children can wield magic in a way that even trained mages have to be careful with. Istredd still instinctively reaches for Chaos when he uses magic, but his magical ability has tripled with access to tapping into Academic Magic. He's memorized an entire book of spells.
He is glad, however, this type of power was not possible for the Brotherhood. They are already a corrupt organization. They would probably gobble all of it up and try to control the source, the Singularity. Worse than Thorne, from a group starving in comparison.
What he is surprised about is how casually Jaskier not only agrees with the theory but has already guessed at it for a time. Istredd huffs a laugh himself, smiling as he shakes his head. ]
I'm afraid I spend far too much of my time conspiring about the Singularity and the gods.
[ Istredd believes it important though. More important than much else he could be doing, finding the answers to these questions. All the closer he has to the type of answers that all of them need. ]
Kyle suggested it first to us, apparently that is similar to his own religious situation. A god coming from another realm. And if they've managed to stay all this time, it means they might have found that anchor.
[ The anchor they're all looking for. Thousands of years later, they haven't left. So there are a few things this could be the key to explaining. ]
This was told in confidence, but the King of Thorne said that something corrupted the original Summoned. It was five hundred years between when the High Mage began and when he was exiled, possibly Summoning all that time. And something went wrong, corrupting them. But he seems to think they died. It could be they just changed into what they are now.
[ Because the gods seem very strange and distant and have trouble communicating with people here, but they might not always have been that way. They could easily have been exactly like him and Jaskier, standing here now, only thousands of years ago. The thing is, Istredd doesn't know if it was a real corruption, like something will happen to them because of the spell or the Singularity, or if it simply was them changing from their original selves over time. Not a corruption, an adaptation. Hard to say, as of now. ]
I asked Himeka to talk with her god friend, I believe he is one of the New Gods. It may give us an idea of what will happen to us, if we do stay.
