Tucker asked John Bierce:

I am on my third read through of the series and was wondering about some things 1)What affinities Hugh would have gotten if he had pacted with Bakori or Asterion 2)There's a greater shadow affinity so is there also a greater light affinity? Maybe powers like Thena from eternals or short distance teleportation lol idk your the author 3)If Hugh hadnt pacted with kanderon, who was Alustin planning on Hugh pacting with

John Bierce 1) Spoilers!
2) A greater shadow affinity IS a greater light affinity in a very real sense- it could better be described as a light cone affinity. (For a better idea of how that works, I highly recommend Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.)
3) No specific plan, Alustin was actually all on-board with the whole helping Hugh track down a patron to pact with thing.
