Magnus Archive Predictions

[writerkit]

The most recent episode I have listened to at the time of posting this is "The Sick Village". (Which is to say, I'm caught up.) My prediction for the ending, based on the information we acquired in this newest episode: the "somewhere else" to send the powers is going to turn out to be inside either Jon or Martin, or require the death of either Jon or Martin, and require the other one to be the one who pulls the trigger on it. I'm guessing Martin for death and then Jon suddenly not being Archivist anymore with the banishment of the powers and having to learn to live like a human again while grieving for Martin and having no way to put any of what he's done for the last few years on his resume. Martin is more in touch with his emotions and we've already established that he's connected enough to the Panopticon to be inside it; Jon grieving him is much more pathos-y than the other way around.

(I really want to know what it is Elias is *getting* out of any of this, though.)

A theory is saw recently that I like is that the fears will need to be locked inside the tower, and because they cannot trust Elias and kill him either Jon or Martin (but probably Jon) will need to be locked in the tower with them as their jailer.

That also seems like a not-unreasonable theory, although I think Martin is the sort of person who'd insist on staying with Jon in any situation where that doesn't mean immediate death.

Definitely possible, but I think Jon would try to prevent that.
