Strange--when I read the title for this thread, I thought it would be about Kelmomas' ability to see the onta. Now that I see it's all about the inner dialogue, I can't help but wonder if the two are related. Since all magic hinges on souls, and Kelmomas has perhaps some other soul kicking around inside, does this make him better at sorcery? I know there is something about the Anasurimbor children having two souls, but the other kids don't seem to act like Kelmomas---in what sense do they have two souls but are not like him?
Makes me wonder about the difference between Kelmomas and um, his sister, forgetting name, swayali witch queen--she was identified early, but Kelmomas has maybe avoided it??? Or Kellhus is keeping him for some other purpose?
