Sadira's spells around Rajaat's prison, and their implications

So, Sadira’s spells around Rajaat’s prison. Obviously she isn’t sacrificing thousands of people a year to maintain them. Sun Wizard Sadira is crazy powerful, but surely not more powerful than the group of Champions that imprisoned Rajaat the first time. It would seem a stretch if she could do a permanent, zero-cost imprisonment.

Rajaat’s prison held without the Levy all through the Dragon’s Rampage, which was about a King’s Age long. So maybe it’s just… lasting for a while, and in a decade or a King’s Age (depending on how strong Sadira’s spells are), Rajaat will break out unless something is done.

Or… Sadira is hooked up to the sun. Maybe every day, while the sun is up, energy is automatically drawn from the sun through Sadira to the prison. In which case it should be fine… As long as Sadira lives. But she’s not immortal, is she? Even if she doesn’t age in Sun Wizard mode (like how a cleric-elemental only ages in human form, not elemental form) that would only give her about double… not long on the scale of Champions and Rajaat.

Or another option … the Champions thought a Dragon was needed to maintain Rajaat’s prison. Maybe that power being pulled through Sadira will slowly transform her… So she won’t age, but will eventually become something as terrible as Borys. Not a Dragon, exactly, because she’s not a defiler/psionicist… but something unique, more like a sun paraelemental mixed with aspects of avangion and/or dragon.

(And, does Sadira’s sun magic drain the sun the way the PT did? Does every sun spell she casts, every day Rajaat stays imprisoned, pull the crimson sun closer to final death?)

I kinda of figured she hooked it up to the sun in a self-perpetuating way… like, the lock got filled up whenever the sun was out, and ran off that when the sun went down, then refilled with solar power.

Quite possible, but then is it eventually going to mess up the sun like using the PT did?

Also, I’m still wondering how the champions needing a full Dragon to imprison Rajaat works with this. The Champions could already draw on animal life energy and store it in obsidian orbs; what is it about the imprisonment that needs a 30th level dragon to make work, and why could Sadira get around that requirement?

Did they need one, or did they think they needed one? Did Borys convince them that they needed one?

That’s the thing about dealing with the Champions… you never know if they’re telling the truth, their view on the truth, or an outright lie.

Me looking at Beyond the Prism Pentad, thinking about Sadira in the Prism Pentad…

“There is no way that woman has a 15 Wisdom.”

Heh, yeah, that does sound very odd…
