**** I imagine that others did notice but they were either silenced (like they attempted to do to Migal), wilfully blind or told a more palatable story to justify the disappearances.

* Since Vholran also has Sovereign Powers, how is it that he can also cast Astral Artes (with his eyes glowing) whereas Alphen can't cast Astral Artes? Not to mention during Vholran's 2nd and final boss fights, he displays a wider variety of Elemental attacks (spheres of lightning and dark Astral Energy, Firing Ice spikes in a circle, and a circular shockwave of dark Astral energy just to name a few) while Alphen's Powers the Sovereign are restricted Mostly to Flaming Edge Artes, and dark is the only element he can't use.

* Seriously. Every time Law says it I always ask, [[InformedAttribute "In what way?"]] Nothing about her seems even remotely tomboyish. She's way too feminine and far ''[[SquishyWizard too dainty]]'' to fit the description.

** Since Vholran went through the Sovereign process centuries after Alphen, it's possible the Helganquil refined it to give the Sovereign better control over all elements.

** This can also be attributed to [[ValuesDissonance cultural differences]]. In Japan, where the game was created, a woman being bold and outspoken is considered a "tomboy", as these are traits typically associated with men and masculinity.

** Kelzalik's notes in Autelina also mention that he's been doing secret trades with Mahag Saar, making the party reason that Almeidrea is a more likely suspect than Vholran.

**Rinwell ''is'' concerned about her appearance. An optional camp chat between her and Shionne has Rinwell remark about how much she loves the fragrance Shionne is using. When Shionne offers to share it with her, Rinwell is elated and says (quote): "That would be lovely".
**The others also seem to consider her to be feminine, given how Kisara, Shionne, and even Alphen each try to teach Law the proper way to treat a girl and tells him he should be more considerate of her feelings. Law is the only one [[TakeOurWordForIt who says]] she's a tomboy.

** Seems subjective to me. She's [[BlackMagicianGirl feisty]], self-sufficient, and pretty heedless of her appearance. In comparison to [[LadyOfWar Shionne]], she's a lot less feminine.

* Seriously. Every time Law says it I always ask, [[InformedAttribute "In what way?"]] Nothing about her seems even remotely tomboyish. It'd be different if he was talking about [[MightyGlacier Kisara]], but Rinwell is way too feminine to fit the description.

** Aside from requiring an obligatory Arctic level for each Tales game, it is mentioned that Renans can conjure material elements and Darkness, but not the Light. So, in order for Ganabelt to actually use it he has to accumulate the Light itself first.

** As with almost any other game where you get to explore large territories, OverworldNotToScale and TheLawOfConservationOfDetail are in full effect. The game only shows us the parts of the world that are important to the game, and anything else is abstracted to make the game actually playable.

** As much as he did see them as lowly slaves, this doesn't mean he was unaffected by watching them die in horrible ways. It is possible he felt guilt over this if nothing else, which manifested eventually as nightmares and hallucinations, driven by fear that the victims' spirits were haunting him and seeking vengeance. BeingEvilSucks, especially for your sanity if you aren't able to fully see your victims as subhuman.

** Also also, it looks like the mask was cracked not by the blow itself, but overloaded after absorbing the mana from said blow, and this is entirely hit or miss - if you miss this way, you may ''vaporize'' his head instead of just causing an injury.

Added DiffLines:

** Also when Naori puts it on Alphen, her worry isn't that the mask can't be removed (implying that there is a way to remove it) but that Alphen would have to keep it on long enough for the side effects to kick in from prolonged exposure.
