I have been looking forward to and dreading this day.

So Klein made the ritual himself?

"What an ingenious ritual design… It has to be an expert at exploiting bugs."

The more I think about the more I am surprised he got this ability so early. I know it is only a incomplete form of the sequence 7 power much like Apprentice has Door Open which is minor form of Door Travel. I honestly thought Dancer would be purely focused on the ritual side of things along with Hidden existences.

By executing this dance, Lumian could attract nearby objects, and at the cost of his own blood, bond one of them to himself, thereby gaining access to one of its abilities or traits.

It has always reminded me of the Aurora order tbh. Dancer = Secret supplicant Alma monk = Listener Contractee = Shepard crossed with either Summoner of Spirit Warlock. Main difference is SS and Listener are subject what they should not see/hear (all about listening to them) while Dancer/Alms monk only invoke/communicate with them.

Finally!!! I am dieing to know what comes after Contractee and we will only find out after he starts advancing! Got so meant theory s and etc.

Lumian took a step back, glancing at the small notebook beside the altar. He looked at the burning candle and shouted in ancient Hermes, "Power of Inevitability!"

Seems problematic as you normally need to be in peak condition when taking a potion(or equivalent). Does help explain why he needed to be a Hunter first though, both performing the ritual and have enough spirituality to undergo the transformation

Soon, the wall of spirituality was complete, and Lumian's own spirituality was significantly depleted.

What I want to know is who taught them to all like that?

The children crawling on the walls quickly accused the outsiders of being barbaric and cruel, calling out for their mother.

If they where not injured then they were not implicated...

Although Ryan tried his best to prevent the Hurricane of Light from implicating the others, he was still too weak to control it. He destroyed a large swath of the walls on the side and the stairs behind him. If Lumian, Leah, and Valentine hadn't found cover in advance, they would have more or less been injured.

The male version (who had a reputation for impregnating women) of her only vanished a year ago and the oldest child there is 4 years old. I don't think she has been doing this for long enough for that to be a issue

Both Earth mother and Moon pathway turn guys into girls (but only at very high sequence), a outer pathway based of these might have the same (but at lower sequence). From what we have seen she has powers in Life and Death domains.

Ryan nodded. "In Dariège, Roquefort is a large family with many members, including a provincial senator. We were in a hurry and didn't have time to conduct a more detailed investigation. We could only confirm that there was no such person as Pualis, but a man named Pulitt had been missing for over a year."

If that is the case then Cattleya discussing the Domains and relationship to pathways has lost almost all meaning. Not really important as the main point of my last message was that I half expected Cuttlefish to be using all these things that seem slightly odd as either foreshadowing or a set up for something. There is always a purpose.

Somehow this does not feel like Cuttlefish's writing. Domains and etc is rather high level information that only came up in the first book because the Tarot club dealt with lots of high information. Normally should they not just refer to "having this power" and "having a similar power" instead? Or has high level beyonder information become commonplace after the time skip?

if only it worked that way

"It's better than being mocked by others," Lumian pointed to the steep hill behind them. "Let's climb up now. We can't waste any more time."

"Perhaps the entity receiving the sacrifice isn't interested in spirits and only wants flesh and blood? Perhaps He didn't want to trigger the loop and only wanted flesh and blood instead of Reimund's spirit, leaving him in Cordu or directly destroying him?"

it is completely reasonable that they believed him.

Seeing that he had revealed so many details and that they could verify them all, Ryan and the others were completely inclined to believe him. Valentine calmed down and remembered his wife and children.

my head is spinning

"Does Dancer correspond to Sequence 9 of the thorn symbol, just as Circle Inhabitant corresponds to its Sequence 4?" Lumian fired off. "Can it boost my flexibility and improve my mystic skills, allowing me to easily grasp that mysterious dance?"
