Savathun the witchcraft queen just wants to be the magnum opus.
Now, with the Witch Queen Collectors Edition released, things are slowly starting to fall into place.
Alchemy in Destiny 2 is most likely a way to navigate the paracausal abilities in the universe.
The atomic numbers on the Hunter set, like 80 and 20059, stand for mercury.
Sulfur was designated by the atomic weight 32.066 appearing on the Warlock set.
The armor also featured triangular alchemic symbols representing earth, fire, water, and air.
The other geometric shapes look like theacid-base or the crystal structureof an element and a sacred Vesica Piscis symbol.
Alchemy was studied across multiple centuries, countries, and religious beliefs.
I think transmutation is part of Savathun’s plan.
Since the song came from the Ghosts past, it suggests that Savathun has tampered with the Ghosts.
The quote reads, “For millions of years the Leviathan caged us here.
It is a pawn of the Sky, a philosophy of cosmic slavery.
The Sky seeds civilizations predicated on a terrible lie–that right actions can prevent suffering.
That pockets of artificial rules can defy the final, beautiful logic.”
In her situation, the death of a worm could be seen as the death of the entire person.
These spores are “A concentrated transmutation catalyst that reacts to both the Light and the Darkness.”
If that’s not the case, then she has something planned to ensure her memories don’t dissipate.
It reads, Why is it that so many places touched by Darkness carry a sense of memory?
A quote fromXVI: The Sword Logicsays, “Savathuns mothers have listened carefully to our teachings.
We will not give you the Deep, King Auryx–that power is for us, your gods.
But we will teach you to call upon that force with signs and rituals.
Small minds might call it magic.
You are no longer bound by causal closure.”
The Cosmographicum Ghost shell from The Witch Queen pre-order has the same effect.
I think whatever we discover in her Throne World will be a bit existential.
