I’ve had a thought regarding soul cores. If it is established that every divine aspect allows for someone to utilise their soul cores to achieve something, I.e. Mordret creates Mirror Beasts, Nephis creates nukes. Would it be possible that Sunny can use his soul cores to create new shadows? At the moment he has 6 shadows, 1 for each core, so it might not work considering they may need to be ‘anchored’ or something to a core. However if he can create more then in theory he could create dozens of shadows, becoming a literal one man army. Or he can boost himself with dozens of shadows at once and increase his power by dozens of times. Not sure if it would be feasible but it could be awesome, we shall see
Wait, I’m wondering if Sunny could potentially abuse the shadow manifestation and weavers mask. If he manifests two of himself in the temple and equips the mask on one of them, he can trade off who is talking and mix lies and truth like everyone else. Neph and her Cohort can’t see in the shadows anyway, so they would never know there is two of them
hm, how can Sunny become a sovereign? the current sovereign generation did it by using the spell, but this option is not open for him anymore or at least for now. so how can he power up? the only way i can see is that he learns to do it the "natural" way how people did it without the spell. but where can he find that knowledge?
