Morollan's comment on Loraan is "take it up with Blackwand". This has always
implied to me that Blackwand did, indeed, stab Loraan but she either
couldn't reach his soul or chose for obscure reasons to preserve his soul
rather than consume it.
I'm not so sure about the lack of textev.
"I managed to support myself and saw Loraan. My knife was in his stomach,
and there was a large cut, as from a sword, in his chest directly over the
heart. He seemed to be rather dead."
The fact that we didn't see Blackwand strike Loraan "on-screen" isn't really
germane. Unless someone was to suggest that Loraan stabbed himself with a
sword and Steve just didn't bother telling us about it. That seems a little
far-fetched. Couple this with the "take it up with Blackwand" comment and
you'd have a hard time arguing that textev doesn't support Blackwand
striking Loraan. Morollan certainly seems to believe she did so. (Maybe the
quibble is with the words "run through", though?)
