Some evidences about Lindon’s Bloodline Ability

First of all… I like theories and discussing them… but if you wish to avoid any kind of spoilers… READ NO MORE.

As the thread's title denotes think I have found out some evidences on Lindon’s Bloodline Ability. I will show you so you can express your own thoughts about the issue.

There were other rooms off of this one, and Eithan let his strands of awareness brush into them, taking a quick peek.

Eithan’s bloodline powers went dark as the lines of madra he typically spread all around him left his control. He could still feel, see, and hear everything in most of the arena, but a chunk around Sha Miara was a void.

Just above… you can see the way Eithan use his Bloodline ability. The key is here: “he typically spread all around him.”

As you see…, Eithan choses consciously to spread his lines of madra around himself… and those lines carry information back to him. So… If you was not aware of possessing such a ability… It would be possible that you never would try it… and therefore you could go a long time without learning that you had such a ability.

There was many examples through the books of Eithan using his Bloodline Ability, I know you have not learned anything new… I just wished to show you all as easy it would be to don’t find out that you had the ability but no one taught you about this.

Now I will show you the scene where Lindon, without being aware of it, start to use his Bloodline ability… The Arelius Bloodline ability.

Lindon’s void key had opened again, and he manipulated aura and extended strands of madra to flip open scripted boxes and pull out bindings and dead matter. “I know what they’re like. I’m sure they didn’t listen to a word you said the entire time you were with them, and that’s why you’re with me.”

Dross was working to supplement his concentration and his pure core was emptying like it had developed a leak as he assembled a construct and piloted the cloudship at the same time, so his attention was barely on his words as he spoke. “You also have the skills I need right now. You’re faster than they are, your perception extends farther, and your Path is perfect for rescue.”

He was as tightly focused as if his life was on the line, his objective all he could see.

Saeya blinked as she looked from him to the construct assembling itself behind him and back.

Notice that Lindon is assembling a construct, which is behind him (he is not seeing it with his eyes), using strands of madra. To be able to do that… he has to be seeing/feeling it through his strands of madra… almost as if he was touching it… Now, look at this:

Soulsmith – Cassias

Only slanting bars of moonlight cut through the shadows, but Cassias could see all eighteen dummies with his bloodline powers. An arm here, a slice of head there, a piece of a circle, but it was enough for him to fill in the gaps. As he moved, strands of his detection web swept through each of the dummies in turn. It was as though he could run his fingertips over everything in the room, slowly gaining a picture.

I think we have here the first steps of Lindon using his Bloodline ability, the Arelius Bloodline Ability, though he is not aware of it yet.

Finally, there are some things I wish to left said.

1. These strands of madra… We had seen Lindon use them before… for example, to control his sword. Even so… I never was aware of him controlling it (the sword) in a situation where he was not able to see it nor I think controlling the sword would require the SIGHT or feeling you would need to assemble a construct.

2. We REALLY don’t know how the Arelius Bloodline ability work on their childrens. We don’t know if naturally and just after being born their children free strands of madra to recognize the world around them… or if it is something the learn on the clan or even if it depend on the degree of their natural ability. We know that Lindon’s parents are not Arelius… so maybe even if he has the Arelius Bloodline ability, he could own it in just a very low degree and therefore the examples of Eithan or Cassius could not fit entirely with Lindon’s case.
