In a previous message, I was speculating about how Great Weapons are mythic
items, that would only work [or come to life, if you will] for the people
they are destined for
This got me thinking about Spellbreaker's history...
We never found out what Loraan was doing with Spellbreaker. He was
researching it obviously, but to what end. Given his interest in
necromancy, his other known item of power (that being Aliera's soul trapped
in a staff), and what we now know of Spellbreaker's destiny, it's not that
much of a leap to guess that he was trying to find a way to get [or
possibly force] Spellbreaker to bond with a soul and thus become a GW.
Of course, since that wasn't destined to happen at that time, it couldn't
work. GWs aren't random items, they are tools of fate, so Spellbreaker's
transformation could only happen at the right time with the right
people. However, it's an interesting possibility that this may have been a
trail that Loraan was going down.
