#same with warlocks & their spells there's a very specific creator -> creation dynamic here

[layla-carstairs]

no matter how many times she explains it I don't think me and Cassandra Clare will ever be in agreement about James and Lucie losing their powers. like its just not a satisfactory explanation to me im sorry

#her comparing it to the endarked & warlock's spells while also says Belial had no actual influence over them developing powers #in the same ask.... okay #like the relationship between Sebastian and the endarked was that he created them! he influenced them! #he was overriding their free will with his will like. them dying with him made sense #same with warlocks & their spells there's a very specific creator -> creation dynamic here #that is not comparable to James & Lucie relationship to Belial #maybe me and cc just categorize them differently bc to me theyre more like Sebastian & lilith or Jace clary & ithural #*ithuriel #like!! when ithuriel dies Jace & Clary do not lose their powers that are a product of them being born with his powers #*blood #BUT clary does lose her prophetic dreams that are established as being given to her by ithuriel #theres an established difference between the two!!!! James and Lucie should not have lost their powers I'll stand by that till I die #bella talks #james herondale #lucie herondale #cassandra clare #chain of thorns #the last hours #tlh
