Dreamer, the scene at the end is when Abruxes implanted the parasite, it wasn't in Rob earlier.
Everything clear now? :D

Yes, everything is clear now. But now that just leaves more questions, like what went wrong in the experiment in the first place?

Dreamer, a few comments on some of the things you mentioned.
The inhabitants of the plane of fire tend to be very long lived, so overall (there are exeptions) conservative.
It doesnt help Thulia that as they (re. above) dont have many children, she stands out more.
There is some bias against humans (particularly among the elder, they have long memories and little idea of how humans have changed over time.
Because of the low birth rate, the Academy has relatively few students at any time (compared to Earth numbees); its not a modern US school, while it seems old fashions (and with tighter disciple), this is hardly unusual; in many countries even today.
Humans have stories about summoned beings tricking or exploiting them. But there is the other pov...
' At least she didn't go for any of the stuff seen in the NSFW category for those kinds of images.' - why do you think that? She's a curious teenage girl :dry:

it's sometimes said (with some actual evidence to back it up) that support of science and progress happens one funeral at a time, as opposition dies.

Maybe the human part of her DNA has a bit of a devisor trait or similar. It didn't go completely right because it couldn't, it would explain her various projects exceeding what's available conventionally, and the experiment being nearly successful

Thulia a devisor?
I couldn't possibly comment...

I suspect she doesn't wear much of anything if she can avoid it, still the thing is as her "normal" tech is basically the equivalent of high level gadget/devise tech on Earth, the only way to tell if she was a devisor is the reproducibility test.

Well, you'll just have to wait and see how that goes. Maybe Whateley will off to give her power testing

i mean her scrying bowls are quantum entanglement communicators, which as a consequence of the uncertainty principle really shouldn't be possible, i don't pretend to understand the specifics, but it basically means the most practical useful application is to generate encryption keys that are damn near unbreakable. as anything you do to influence the entangled particles may break the entanglement

Quantum engtanglement communicators are certainly possible. The most successful test that I am aware of covered a distance of over 1,000 km. See Yin, J., et. al, Nature v 582, no 7813, 2020, p 501.
