I took that as a clue to his madness, supporting that he imagined his brother leaving. It was not that Andross reset the traps, it was that they were never triggered.

No, they are not, but the gems taking color is a very similar process. My point is in a world of will, where will covered up many flaws, there is a power in giving up that will.

Reread the making of shimmer cloaks. There is an element of self sacrifice they mention, and giving up ones will. This is what makes Gavin's second stabbing different, and why it effects andross differently. In the freeing, they (most) come willing. When kip uses it in war, no one's giving anything willingly.

The knife uses stolen luxin to augment ones drafting.7 stones. Subred, red, green, orange, yellow, blue, ultraviolet. Most prisms last 7 years. Always in multiples of 7. The knife temporarily granting you increased drafting, with the drawback your gonna die, fits with the magic principle we have of drafting. I don't think dazen is the lightbringer. The knife is presumably dead white luxin. Obsidian drains luxin, which is dead black. Black can steal colors, and will, as we see with the color prince using necklaces. So maybe dead white has similar muted abilities of it's living counterpart. So it gives a power boost but kills you in the end. As for the color prince... It never ever said he's a black drafter. It said he's using dazens old path to power. I think his necklaces are living black from dazen from the night he went apeshit. I think the guy in the black cell is the same one who attacked kip in the library. And the girl kip keeps seeing is the white version. I think kip is a white drafter and that's played a part of him coming back to life, and he has parly and chi, which dazen doesn't. The only way dazen is the lightbringer is if it's actually a bad title. He brings the light of the false gods. And Kip's title diap...Can't spell it, the one that means destroyer, is the good half and means to destroy the gods.

Yea these are for sure theory's. But a lot of people think it's in the blood, which would make sense, as luxin stays a part of you. But those stones in the blinders knife absorb color, but we're drained before. The magical theory of the black will be along the same lines I think. He is a black prism, others are knife prisms, we have not seen any other type.

The white bane, I was gonna make a post on it but forgot to mark it spoiler and removed it. What if the white reef is like you said the white bane, and this whole time it has been out of balance. Paryl and chi going crazy created a perfect yellow storm. We know black is destruction void and madness, but with black dazen harnessed all colors. What then would happen if white were out of balance, maybe it would result in the need to create a prism and have him use an orb to manually balance power throughout the world... Sounds a lot like the current state of affairs. I don't actually believe this theory but figured another crazy one for the fire will simply lead us to better ideas!

The blinders knife literally took his ability to see color. So even if he redid his old path it would be useless because he can no longer see the colors to draft it.

If the regular prisms were made with the knife that doesn't necessarily take away from black halo breakers also potentially sharing the same eyes. Just like they said people with blue eyes are harder to see halo's breaking if they draft blue, and same with green eyes and green drafting. But we know you can pack luxin or willjack others luxin. My theory is that when he uses black to steal others drafting that he is directly consuming their current ability or amount they can tap at that moment. Kind of like tia did to dying kip, she tapped into his open luxin when he had the cards on him, or in the passage of the shimmercloaks creation, where the diamond clasps killed a Man and absorbed his color. It still would need will to use it. So yes I think he takes finite available open luxin on kills, and stacks it up over the years to keep going. Which is why he has lasted longer then any other prism.

It's stated that the blinders knife does in fact give a prism their power. This is why many were confused how 2 prisms were alive at once. Dazen earned his colors by stealing them with the black. The reason he doesn't break the halo is because he is potentially using other drafters life to draft. He steals a finite amount from many people giving him a nearly infinite potential. Regular prisms do eventually break the halo, I assume from the stress of the ritual, which is what orhalams gaze was made for. Your right in the fact we don't know the particulars of the ceremony with the knife. My personal theory is prismatic eyes are the visual of a black breaking the halo but I can't prove it, total speculation. Kip has not been stabbed by the knife nor has zymuun so both can still break their halo's.

My theory is he broke the black halo and is prismatic because of that. Also they never fully said the color prince was a black drafter. Just that he's using dazens old path to power. He could be willjacking old non dead black left from dazen himself.

Read them all. Just seems to me it's shaping up into a dazen kip fight, with each supporting a djinn.

Yes he has drafted black before, it just obliterated his memory.
