<p>Ohh okay! Thankees~ </p><p>While I'm here a couple thoughts. </p>

1. Held probably made his inheritors able to cure HER cause he wasn't able to cure his daughter.
2. What if Elluka didn't sense Irina was a HER because as a Salem inheritor, her ability to sense/cure it was negated? Similar to how Vessels/Demons are immune to each other.
3. Sorry if any of these have been brought up. I'm on mobile and this is a long thread to read.

<p>Held was not involved in the creation process of humanity at all, so there's no reason to think that he had anything to do with what powers his inheritors had. </p><p>If different Inheritors were able to cancel each other out, Elluka wouldn't have been affected by Eve's brainwashing in Gift, as Elluka was in the body of a Rahab inheritor at the time. </p>

<p>It's confirmed that Elphe's were based off Held. Is it so crazy to assume that in the process of creating humanity, everyone was asked what they wanted their Inheritors/Vesels abilities to be? It's possible everyone on Climb One was going to have Inheritors, but were killed before it could be implemented. Hence why every spirit has special abilities. It also explains why Marie was able to have specific powers as a Demon, despite not being a scientist. Same for Salem. </p><p>That's a valid point. But there's factors than just Eve, Elluka, and Rahab. Even though he was sleeping, Behemo's soul could have negated Levia's powers. While yes the Body gives you their abilities, true magic comes from the soul. Eve's active ability could have over powered Levia's passive one, maybe even feeding off it because she is a Levia inheritor. </p>

<p>There is nothing really suggesting that inheritors was a deliberate thing done on the part of the Climb One crew rather than a fluke or accident in creating a new humanity. There's also nothing stating that the abilities that the demons have are a result of being scientists--my understanding was that they gained their abilities in the process of being turned into demons. The fact that the only spirits who have abilities are Eater and Lich, and that it's implied these were given to them by Banica, supports this idea. </p><p>I'm not sure what "true magic" has to do with it, given that both Eve's ability and the Purple Dream power are stated to be Inheritor abilities, which are explicitly not the same thing as magic as stated by Adam. How could Behemo's soul have negated Levia's purple dream ability? What "power" does Behemo's soul have that would do this? How can inheritor abilities "feed" off of each other? (and in case I need to restate it, the inheritor ability Levia has is Rahab's because she <i>is in Lukana's body</i>, not because Levia is stated to have any inheritor powers herself). I'm still not sure how this relates to your original point on Elluka and Irina--how does being able to summon fire negate another person's ability to sense HER? </p><p>Like, these things are theoretically possible if you make up a bunch of new mechanics that have never been talked about before, I just don't see evidence pointing to it as is. </p>

<p>Friendly reminder that this is a thread for discussing the OSS: Crime novel. Extensive theories and speculation go on the Theories Discussion Board. </p>

<p>Is there any word if there will be a follow up to this novel? The title implies it would be a two parter, at least. </p>

<p>Mothy has said that there will be a second novel, but we don't know when it'll be released. </p>
