I have seen multiple times now that "(mage-)Viktor manipulated Jayce from the start", even misusing a very gross language starting with a g I'm not comfortable repeating when it really does not apply, which is really stupid...Guys, literally only thing he did was give little Jayce a rune after saving him and his mom!
Viktor didn't talk to Jayce, Jayce getting inspired and pursuing creating magic is fully on him wanting to be like a person who saved his and his moms life. It has nothing to do with Viktor until they meet again in S1E2. Prime-Viktor has no idea about any of what mage-Viktor did, he learns about the mage at the finale, Jayce learnt a little bit earlier after his stumble in the bad AU-future.
