[[WMG: Both Karol and Nan suffer from a post-traumatic fear of monsters]]
Two twelve-year-olds forced to face off against monsters, both of whom lost their parents to monster attacks when they were still much smaller? PTSD is beyond understandable, and would explain a few things on both sides. With Karol it's fairly obvious. At the start of the story his first reaction to anything that even ''might'' be a monster is to run and hide; it's all he can do to jump out with his eyes closed wildly swinging a sword so big that it ends up swinging him instead. With Nan, however, a similar phobia would explain a great deal. When she's facing off against the player's entirely human party, she easily stands as a high-level boss character. Despite this, she's also shown nearly dying to plant monsters that, despite their size, should be easy enough to kill with one hit. This would make much more sense if she struggles not to freeze up around monsters, unable or desperately fighting not to run but also unable to fight properly. This would also add to her conflict with Karol, as not only does she see his tendency to run as abandoning her and his other friends in the face of what she fears most, but she may also project some self-loathing onto him, turning her frustration with her own inability to conquer her fears into fury at him; and when he eventually comes back with the complete monster book, having conquered his fears spectacularly and in part for her sake, her breakdown hits all the deeper for such context.

I mean, it'd be nice if that happened. Halure is noted to have already undergone spirit conversion before Undine did, and it still maintains a barrier (provided you did the sidequests about it).

[[WMG: Ba’ul is fated to become the spirit known as Origin.]]
Ba’ul refuses to become an apatheia for two reasons: one, he’s too young. Two, he loves Judith too much. It stands to reason, then, that he will live on for some time as Judith’s partner. If the other [[spoiler: Entelexeia became the spirits Undine, Efreet, Gnome and Sylph]], then it stands to reason that Ba’ul could become Origin. As the youngest, Origin would be much stronger when compared to his brethren- and since he witnesses the events of Vesperia, he is the wisest and threfore the most prepared to be the spirit that unifies the others. He saw them become spirits, after all. And food for thought: the spirit carrying Myorzo? ''Maxwell.''
[[WMG: Vesperia, canonically, is the first tale in the series. Therefore, Vesperia is actually a ''prequel''.]]
Consider: Vesperia sees the birth of the basic spirits of the series as we know them. The Halure tree is the Kharlan Tree. Vesperia No. 2 becomes the Eternal Sword. Estellise could be the first angel- or the first incarnation of Martel. The Kritya become elves. And lastly, the dead blastia get repurposed into Exspheres.
