please explain to me your theory about the spire exploding!! I’m interested :)
Ok! Thanks!
So, the Spire was built to harness all the Will energy in the world, using it to grant wishes, right?
Will energy is generated by all living beings. And it has something in common with the force of DETERMINATION from UnderTale.
DETERMINATION is produced when a person is feeling particularly determined.
Will is similar. The amount of Will gathered at one spot in the world opened a rift between the Void and the world, which the Corruption slipped through.
The three Heroes who sacrificed themselves to seal it willed it so, that their sacrifice would provide what was needed to seal it.
They, in their final moments, produced an enormous spike in Will energy, as they willed with their very lives that the Corruption be sealed. Which happened at around the same time as when the Last Archon made his wish.
The Spire, in my theory, functions by maintaining a field or gathering of Will energy. It uses this to grant wishes. The Spire can only work when this field is stabilized, however. It’s very much like spinning a plate on a pole. The moment it destabilizes, if nothing is done to counter, everything comes crashing down.
The large spike in Will produced by the three Heroes destabilized the balance the Spire was maintaining, as it sought to do what it was built to; draw Will energy to itself.
The pull the Spire exerted in an attempt to draw the new Will energy to it either put ‘pressure’ on or otherwise moved/compressed/jostled the Will it already had.
This destabilization happened, essentially at the time that the Archon’s wish was either being processed or was in the process of being granted.
The Will energy turned volatile, and when the Spire could not contain the Will or re-stabilize it, it erupted outward in a wave that leveled the civilization.
This very much depends on my own understanding of energy, and how energy becoming destabilized can affect things. Mostly science, and some sci fi.
What do you think?
