* The Sheer brokenness of the Karma system (being Designed from the Ground up to allow the Corrupt,genuinely evil, and outright psychopathic to victimize others and easily evade punishment through little more then glorified wordgames whilst turning the universe itself against anyone who doesn't play along)) has suddenly begun to make a lot more sense, with the revelation that the Natural Counterbalance To Daemonkind may be just as malevolent/harmful, or at the very LEAST have no Concern about Collateral Damage. mayhaps the system which has caused countless misery was brought into being as part of a past deal in exchange for the permanent binding of a (minor) Deamon?

* The reason why Isadora was so opposed to Dionysus presence in Toronto, which was the reason she tried to stop Jeremy from making a demesne, is because he's a God of Madness and she's an Other of Balance. The two oppose one another and madness is her weakness. His presence weakens her.

** Blake's not just The Fool because of the various character traits he shares with the card, but also because Grandma Rose [[spoiler:used him as an expendable asset to keep Rose in reserve for as long as possible.]]

-->“Again, you can have magical ability anywhere, Rose,” Ms. Lewis said. “But that’s not the issue you’re trying to address. Your concern is the here and now. Right now you’re in a world of mirrors, largely powerless. Blake was asking how you could achieve more faculty.”

* Blake's role as The Fool is even deeper than it seems at first glance. [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards Our very own wiki]] has this to say:
--> Historical sidenote: The Fool's role in the trick taking card games which gave rise to the modern Tarot deck was unique: [[spoiler:The card always lost, but also was always a valid play, thus making the card both worthless at the tactical level and immensely valuable at the strategic level (you could avoid playing a card that could win a later round if you had already lost this round).]]

* When Rose asks her a careless question, Ms. Lewis lets the truth slip about her botched awakening ritual:
-->“Vestiges can be twisted into something else,” Rose said. “And... I’d have power there?”
-->“You have power anywhere,” Ms. Lewis said.
-->“I mean I can have magical ability there.”

* Shortly afterwards, she smiles when Blake's vague wording lets her answer him without giving anything away:
-->“Yeah,” I said. “I feel like I could sleep for hours. This is the vestige thing, right?”
-->She smiled, “‘The vestige thing’, yes.”
* But when he keeps talking, she has to cut him off because she can't actually discuss ''that'' in detail, for obvious reasons:
-->“Okay,” I said. “Cool. Which raises a few questions I’ve been meaning to ask.”
-->“Keep in mind I’m here in a teacher capacity, not as your lawyer.”
-->“Sure,” I said. “But this vestige thing-“
-->“I can’t tell you the particulars of the deal we made with the late Rose Thorburn.

* Also, this. Blake leaps to the assumption that Rose was damaged and the energy was taken from him to repair her; Ms. Lewis doesn't disabuse him of this, but her actual meaning is obvious in retrospect:
--> “It matters for you too,” Ms. Lewis said. “For the time being, you are connected to Blake. Tell me, Blake, did you feel weaker? More vulnerable?”
--> “I felt tired,” I said. “I wondered for a moment if Rose had done something.”

* In Damages 2.4, there's an early hint at Blake's true nature:
--> The woman leaned forward. “More to the point, if she had taken the offer, you wouldn’t be here. At least, not in the same capacity.”
* Nearly every other line the lawyers say counts as this:
--> “The remainder would call us practitioners,” the woman lawyer told me. “Practitioners like you, even.”
--> “Well, we’re a fair bit different from him,” the older man said. He arched one thick eyebrow. “Question is, does it matter?”
