"I'm not sure I understand what the purpose of bringing people here in the first place was. It was the royals there and their high mage who did it, but then they threw people into the dungeon. It would almost seem like an accident, although maybe they didn't know what would actually happen."
He can't read minds so all he can do is speculate, but it doesn't seem likely they knew what they were getting when they reached out to other worlds. Otherwise, they would be more directly controlling the situation. It seems very reactive so far. Free Cities and Solvunn did the same once they realized Thorne had an edge. But did they? No one has asked anything of them.
"What I'm more worried about is what they'll use their New Magic for, combined with magic and technology. The weapon I made, it was lethal in a way very few weapons are. If they can harness something similar, on a larger scale, this could get uglier."
Jayce told Kell that he killed people and that it haunts him, but it also is coming from a place of understanding. He made one superpowered hammer and killed a whole collection of people easily, having never fought before. He thinks Free Cities has militarized to a higher level. It is very concerning. The Queen may have used a very dangerous magical attack to kill Libertas, but he worries that a New Magic weapon could wipe an entire section off the map with far less strain.
As for Viktor.
"Most of it. He does take some medical supplements and has been healthier for it, but my magic has been sustaining him." Viktor would be in very rough shape if it wasn't for that, which they both know. "But he's working on a project he started back home, if it works it could cure his condition entirely. It requires us to be here, we need their crystals to power it."
