(view spoiler)[Is Taelien Salaris the main character for the entire plot, or is Corin because it feels like Taelien is the main character of the story? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It's a little more complicated than either option.
Taelien is the primary lens through which readers get to see this time period of the story. I wouldn't consider him to be the "main character" of the plot as a whole, exactly - he's there to be a point of connectivity between each of the major stories in this time frame, but that doesn't mean he's central to all of them. His role in the plot of the Arcane Ascension books is comparatively minor. I would only consider him to truly be the main character of the Weapons & Wielders books, since the War of Broken Mirrors has three perspective characters with roughly equal significance (Lydia, Jonan, and Taelien).
Corin is the main character for his own books, and he may influence other books further down the line, too.
There will also be other books that don't include Taelien *or* Corin - things like the Wrynn Jaden book, for example, which is set before Taelien and Corin were born. (hide spoiler)]

Hey there, I really enjoy your work. I just finished Defying Destiny and started AA again, because I really can't wait for the next one. Its been mentioned a few times, that Corin can't really keep enchanting a thousand items for every situations, because of interference between them. Would it be possible, to use that interference between items, to activate some synergistic effect?
