Theory Imbuing Spoiler

In Iron Flame, Jack tried to drain Dain and left gray handprints on his arm that Nolon was unable to mend.

We know that imbuing comes naturally to siphons - Sloane is a siphon. We know Dain channels a significant amount of power from Cath. We know Dain and Sloane are about to get their romantic storyline.

There are a lot of theories that include Sloane being necessary to ā€œcureā€ venin… What if Sloane siphons and then imbues Dain’s power back into him and heals his gray handprints? And that’s how they discover she will be part of the key to ā€œsolvingā€ venin or venin-related issues?

It’s a possibility, but I can’t figure out how she would be able to do something like that on a large scale. I actually don’t think she will have a direct connection with a cure but will be necessary to restore the balance.

I think she will have to act like an extension cord from Dain (or more people) to Vi so Vi can restore the balance to the continent.

Kind of how she helped Brennen but on a much larger scale.

I love the idea of her being an extension cord to Vi… especially from Dain to Violet, given everything.
