So, I’ve been trying to figure out how the various powers in these episodes might be sorted into the 13 corridors mentioned in MAG 35. I think I might have it figured out.
1. Mr. Pitch (Dark Water, Rainer)- his darkness is always portrayed as “like ink”, and whenever he comes through , characters always mention stale water. 2. The Lightless Flame 3. The earth/Claustrophobia (The Governor) (Lost Johns, Underground…) 4. The Vast (Ex Altiora, Fairchilds) 5. The Stranger (The Unknowing) 6. The Spiral (Michael, Es Mentiras) 7. Mr. Spider (Raymond, Annabelle,) – might also represent the Hunter. 8. Alone (Lucas Family)
9. Famine/Meat (cannibal and meat episodes)
10. The Piper (
War/Savagery
)
11. The Hive (
Pestilence, Amhurst/Prentiss)
12. The End 13. The Beholder
I remember people had already come around to the four horsemen and elemental ideas, but I hadn’t seen anyone lay out all 13 yet, so there we go.
*(Edit: So we’re been tossing things around; currently it looks like the Spider and the Hunter exist as separate entities, bringing the total to 14. I’ll try to come up with a separate icon soon!
Also, adopting some of the names used by HumidNebula, fxktn, and others in the red string brigade on Reddit!)
Given my 13 powers organization here as the key, here’s my understanding of how all the episodes fit together:
Feel free to comment with things I’ve missed. 🙂
A few edits: 8. Whoops! Remembered to tack the spider on to Burned out. 11. Added Death. I do still wonder whether Beholder may be involved, given that the dreamer must watch. and a certain someone this episode mentioned “rare instances of two powers together,” so it opens the possibility of combination actors…. 51. Added the Air as a possible power for 51: the Giant is in Ex Altiora. and if one thinks about the connection between Freefall and High Pressure as “deep blue, it makes sense. This power may draw on agoraphobia and vastness, opposing the claustrophobia of the earth.
