[@souleaterfan320] so I've been starting to form an idea, since Regan cannot create amaranthine he can do something else. So being himself, transformed by the amaranthine as he fully assimilated into it upon discovery something has changed. Not only is he amaranthine but all amaranthine lives through him like an organism. Since he became amaranthine it echos with his life, it feeds through him and it feeds him like a sort symbiosis. It has become something else, it evolves with him. That is why it spreads like an infection now, it hungers like he does.
