Banes being the potential “Big Bad”

So we all know how by the end of the Lolirock series, Banes was foreshadowed as possibly the bigger bad working behind the scenes. That Gramorr wasn’t really at the helm but it was Banes who was the brains of the operation

This was heavily hinted it when we realised just how powerful Banes really was when he survived the “Crystal Quinta” Spell in “Super Cute Kitten” episode. Not many if any beings can just survive that, the only reason why Gramorr survives a direct blast is because he was wielding the full power of the Crown of Ephedia, and yet this “pet” of Gramorr’s somehow survives too??

This leads to my personal theory of who and what Banes is. My theory is, Banes just may be that great sorcerer of Ephedia that wanted to gather all the magical info of the universe—yep I’m talking about Zanevian. The reason why I theorised this is because the colour palette of the Zanevian Book of Spells and Banes are literally the same or at least similar. Zanevian is hinted to be the founder of Black Crystal Magic, so I’m very curious to see how Banes’s story pans out.

So what I’m seeing here is a pattern, Banes finds people that he knows are likely to follow him, easy for him to manoeuvre and or manipulate, Banes may have a personal vendetta with the Royal family/families of Ephedia—maybe Banes/Zanevian was cursed and punished to remain in that form forever. What if he played into Gramorr’s own ambition for power and influence, like how he’s now playing into Praxina’s grief.

Let me know what you guys think of my theory, I’m curious to see your thoughts🫶🏾
