″As for Kase,” Niklas went on. “He taps into fear. But he does have an opposite. Called a Benevolent. One who harnesses power from happiness and hope.” ″Sounds pleasant, right?” Lynx muttered. “It isn’t.” ″Think about it,” Niklas said. “Our hopes teeter along desperation by a hairsbreadth. The same as Kase manipulates fear to create chaos, a Benevolent might manipulate joy and desire to maintain control. Folk are desperate to avoid their fears and keep whatever they hope for alive. To exploit desperation, well, there’s power there.”
Is that what the King Ivar is? Belevolent?
