[ For a moment, Jing Yuan takes pause, and closes his eyes. Yes he's tired being he has time to ponder matters deepy even if he should leave this heavy kind of ... let us call it 'strategizing' for later. It's fine.
Why the Estate indeed...? Even in a situation like this, can he connect the dots? Still, not very reliable, but if he looks at this with the players on the board, he can see golden threads lie theoretically, and the chessboard. Yes, perhaps... ]
...Let's quickly review what we know so far.
The Estate itself was in a precarious situation. There was the problem of dwindling wealth.
... What better time for a savior to insert himself with renowned technology? I have heard of certain light tech being developed in the West and cannot help but feel it was connected, due to us finding some things in the midst of it all. It seemed to work so seamlessly with the moon rock's capabilities that it was completely unnatural, from my perspective.
Insert the "lantern" onto or into the wall, which seemed to be composed of a "lens" which had reflective-like properties. Then with the moon's capability in play, it projected a specter skeleton-like entity, difficult to fight given that it too had reflective capabilities, magic or physical...but I digress.
The Estate was being "paid" by those who watched these shows. Admittedly, I was uncertain of the kind of transactions were being made. Perhaps mana stones were being passed along, and then unbeknownst to them a mana rock was slipped along into their possession.
Though, keep in mind this is simply only one possible thread. The heads of the Estate could very well have possessed the moon rock prior to this. But, I doubt it'd have been for long, given how quickly the effects of such a rock without protection would and have spread. So it'd have to have been relatively recent. Likely by a paying customer, as the keys to open the box it was in were locked, kept in the pockets of the heads of the Estate, and clearly the false necromancer didn't seem to have direct access to it. Not that it kept from corrupting him regardless since it seemed he oft worked upstairs, in close proximity to it.
[ So the "necromancer" being affected more acutely wasn't too surprising to him. ]
