Why they do her like that (SPOILERS)

[Takingdomscosimog]

So why is my master Sellen a f****** ball?? Is Rennala responsible? If so I want to hurt her. More importantly can I save her from being a ball or did I miss something that could have prevented it? I'm sad for her she was kind to me not many are in this cruel world :( also side note- why is Seluvis dead??

A lot of story points are in flavor text of items, namely the 2 mages she tells you to go after.
Read spell description.

The point of that story arc ultimately is that she was kicked out and constrained for good reason. She was dangerous to others and herself and paid the price. She's made to be sympathized with and the moral is that even people we are fond of can be wrong and dangerous in their views and actions.

I was sad as well that she died.. but story wise she’s kind of on the same level as the Dung Eater.. akin to a serial killer. I think the ball was because of the primeval current. Which I would assume a lot of the balls we’ve seen ingame were sorcerers just like sellen. They tried to harness the power but eventually got taken over by it.

As for Seluvis I assume Rani Killed him; because she knew of his plot to mind control her.

you can prevent her becoming a ball if you don't tell her about lusat, thus shielding her from knowledge she can not handle. she'll just chill in the library then.

when you side with her she says shes going to kill rennala but that would defeat the purpose of our use of rennala as an npc and also thats just not how the story goes, sellen is generally a bad person who was killing mages for her own experiments with 'dark magic', i sided with her too but rennala i guess found her and trapped her for good lol its so grim but its not like sellen is all good

seluvis dies when you speak to whoevers father in the roundtable and agree not to give seluvis' potion to the daughter and that the father will 'take care' of seluvis

That ball is a celestial seed, is the result of sorcerers becoming too greedy and failing to achieve their goals.

Have you found Astel? Basically Sellen aspired to get the powers of beings like Astel which ended up turning her into a celestial seed.
