Hi, everyone. I was starting to think that "somehow" I was the only person who noticed that the MC was apparently beginning to manifest a new attunement..and that just didn't seem reasonable. Then I finally discovered the Theories board. Yea me!

I just reread book 2 paying close attention to the spell graphics and what ever this attunement/source is, it doesn't look anything like Blood Magick as shown by Alma at the end of chapter 4 (not yet, anyway..maybe that will change going forward, but I suspect not). I think this is something completely new, which theory is reinforced when Alma is confused when the MC demonstrates it for her in chapter 5.

At this point I'm leaning hard towards the MC becoming the Source, maybe not a full Source like the others, but a Source never the less for a new magick.

Is the same thing going to happen with Atlas? Nothing showing up yet, but that could just mean it's delayed with Atlas for some reason. EDIT ** I stand corrected. Just finished off chapter 5 and when Alma "tested" the twins their magick rose to protect them. Both displayed that same unknown symbol.

So, what do you think? Do my assumptions seem reasonable so far?

EDIT ** Almost forgot this piece. MC's and Atlas's magic fluctuations are similar to Gemma's a Source trapped in a human body without full access to her power. This further reinforces my belief in MC becoming a Source. And also, when the MC lost her magick in Eglands class and then came surging back, the same unknown graphic was shown.

One last EDIT ** I can't swear to it since the graphic was behind her head, but it "looked" like Atlas finally called the new magick on her own when she stormed out of the MC's room at the end of chapter 5.
