Being inable to talk in this case was a physical threat.
I do not believe anyway that the transferring thing was pure gameplay aspect.Esthar, the point is that you're arguing that the physical ailment of death would be inflicted upon the viewer, when we know from Ward's incident that physical ailments are NOT transferred to the viewer.
"Propagators are only one entity"
When a person gets an eye blind the other donīt get automatically blind.
However when one gets hurt letting blood fall all the body suffer the consequences.
This example helps explaining how the hurt gets transferred but not the throat damage.
One can think of the Propagators as a unique body on a Minkovsky space(time-space continuum).
If one projects this body in a spatial instance plane what one gets?
Sorceress Adel.Of course this proccess is not automatic.
The body somehow gets broked and itīs pieces need to get glued using a special magic.
This Minkovsky bond is what enables the "dream" thingy I think.
However Ellone is the only one who knows how to use this ability.
The other ones forgot.
It is like human beings.Our brain can do many things behound our imagination.
But humans only use about 20% of their brains.
One needs to learn how to use the other 80%.
But the functionalities are there.
