What are your theories for Spirit Bound?

I think Lissa would enjoy court life a LOT more if Tatiana wasn't involved. I think that's why she doesn't seem to like it. She would make a kick a** queen, though.

*I think that's why Tatiana is making her do all this crazy stuff*

Thats why I thought of it.

**ALL HAIL QUEEN LISSA!!! ** lol

lol yea you have a good point. Lissa does seem the type to like to be in charge.

and then all the moroi who wanted to fight with their elements could. ohhh and in the schools they could have a special training course for all the moroi who have specialized and decided to fight along side the guardians!!!! Now that would be AWESOME!!!!

i just thought of something... what would happen with the bond between Rose and Lissa if Rose turned strogoi? would it stay the same or would it go away? If it stayed the same and Lissa learned how to go into Rose's head then what would Lissa think about Rose.

That was just a random 'what if' thought sorry!

Maybe there will be a Revolution before the series is finished.

thats kinda what i was thinking

This may sound totally stupid but let me know what you think!

I kind of have considered that. It'd be like the healing thing all over again: why do they get to hold all the power. And would they go after those who'd been Moroi first, try to change back the royals they've lost over the years?

Dimitri said in BP that if Rose was changed, then the bond would go away. Pg. 314: "If you were awakened, Lissa would no longer be a threat to you. You'd be free. The bond would break."

-sorry forgot bout that!!

- i was kinda thinking that... they would start with the royal moroi then just the moroi then maybe they would try to 'heal' the others to???

Even if the bond broke, she'd still probably be getting information about Lissa, especially if all the strigoi they were around were attempting to get rid of the royal lines.

I guess they'd eventually want to heal everyone because otherwise more Strigoi would be made from those who were still alive. I doubt they'd be able to heal everyone though, it'd be too hard to find them all and way too hard to stop them creating more strigoi.

yea i guess... hey how do you take what someone else posted then add it to your post without just copying and pasting?
sorry im still trying to figure this out

See in the top right hand corner of every post there's a button that says quote? click that, and then when you see the text, make sure you keep the things that are surrounded by square brackets [], but other than that, you can delete anything in the post, and then quote what you decide to keep. like this.

ok thank you so much!

i dont actually think if Tatiana got all the spirit users to save the strigoi would be harmful to them.
like in blood promise, when Rose learned that Lissa could just simply heal the darkness away from her.
but if the strigoi found out their plan to turn them back, there would be a massive war on Tatianas hands, with all spirit users there be on top of the list to be killed by strigoi.

Hah, if the queen does want the spirit users to heal the Strigoi when/if Dimitri is healed, she's going to rev up her attempts to make Lissa and Adrian fall for each other and have lots of little spirit-using babies.

That would be hilarious. Especially if Adrian blew up at her, though he doesn't exactly have a short fuse...

I don't know if the spirit power can be passed down through genes. It's just another one of the elements that come to certain people.

hmmm thats a lot to think about... the wole spirit being passed down kinda thing... wouldnt someone else in adrian's family have shown signs of spirit if that was true?

Exactly, if the power was passed down, then someone from all their family lines would have to have "not specialised". I thought it wasn't supposed to be common?

I don't know about a war because just healing a person is really draining on Lissa let alone Adrian. There's no way they could heal that many fast enough without killing themselves. Also wouldn't it be a waste to heal someone who willingly chose to become a strigoi because as soon as they were healed they just might choose to become strigoi again. I think it's a great solution for those who were forced into that existence, or truly regret choosing that existence i.e. Mrs. Karmac, because they thought it was the only way. But how do you choose it's kinda like playing god spirit users will have a say who gains forgiveness and who doesn't.

I don't think spirit is hereditary but if it is in both parents then maybe that offspring might have better odds. Though spirit is an oddity within it self. Once spirit is more wide known through out the moroi community I bet more and more people will come forward. I'm wondering if it was only considered rare because in the past people didn't know about spirit or what it was so there for if one didn't specialize they kept that to them selves in shame or something, so it became rare. Maybe there have always been spirit users hiding in the background of society.

I believe in order to keep Strigoi that are switched back to Moroi or Dhampir the Royals will need to change their ways.

I don't think spirit is hereditary either. I mean, neither of Lissa's parents, or her brother showed any signs of spirit, did they??? But I agree that having two spirit users as parents could possibly increase the chances of the offspring using spirit.

We wouldn't really know about Lissa's family, since they were the only dragomirs left. It didn't necessarily have to come from the parents. So looking at Adrian's family would probably be more helpful (though with the amount of Ivashkovs out there it probably wouldn't tell us much).
But I still agree with the non-hereditary thing.

Elements do seem linked to genes. The only families that have been featured in VA are Christian/Tasha and Victor/Natalie. Christian and Tasha both specialized in fire. Victor and Natalie both specialized in earth. So Tatiana could conceivably think that Lissa and Adrian would produce spirit-using kids.

yeah, I suppose so. I know C/T and V/N had similar elements, but that can't be the only way people get them...otherwise you'd end up with an entire group of people related to each other dominating one element. Perhaps genes are partially the reason for element determination, but I don't think it'd work that way all the time.
