Title: Aporetic Exclusivity?
Post by: H on April 13, 2016, 12:36:28 pm
Could one be both an Aporetic sorcerer and, say, a Gnostic one?

This question is sparked mostly by Aurang's cryptic statement about practicing "other arcana" to walk through Wards.  It, of course, immediately made me think of the Aporos.

Chapter 11 of TTT:

Quote
“Walking between Wards is easy,” a voice hummed, “when their author practises other arcana.”

Indeed, this is when he comes to Esmenet again to confront Kellhus.
