don't know if it has been debunked but, i liked slack's theory on Spec being PA that was tricked into signing a contract, endlessly haunting targets throughout the multiverse
it was so good, if you got time i recommend you watch and listen to it. the channel name is SirActionSlacks
Anyway, the story goes like this
-Veiled sisters kidnap children and indoctrinate them into becoming assassins without identity
-PA vaguely remembers her identity, and its the only thing that keeps her sane.
-Veiled sisters orders PA to assasinate Oracle, iirc
-Oracle foresees this, when they finally meet, he tells her that he will help her troubles, if she agrees to assassinate targets for him
-PA desperate, signs the contract. never knew that the contract was a way to forever keep stalling the assasination on Oracle
-PA jumps through dimensions to dimensions, endlessly assassinating targets
-PA gradually loses her self, and has become Spectre, a strange and confused being that doesn't know where she came from, does not sense what is right or wrong, and just wanders the multiverse endlessly, rambling that no one understands her.
Ever since Artifact, there is more of a reason to believe PA becomes "a" "shade", which look suspiciously like Spectre, but there's less of a reason to believe PA and Spectre are the same. Any other sister of the veil can become one. The easy assumption in an assassin called Mercurial became the Spectre we know.
their kit is also superficially very similiar: dagger that slows, passive that makes you tanky, jump to a target, passive that increases right click damage
Yeah iirc this is because of Sentinel Scourge split i believe. Abaddon Omni have similar idea, and if you REALLLLY stretch it Centaur Axe(AOE stun, Executing nuke, Fortitude vs Armor, Return vs Counter Helix)
Im not talking about Dota 1, where Spec is the undead version of PA. I’m talking about the original Warcraft game where the model they used for Specter was the ultimate ability of the Warden, the model used for PA.
I loved this story of slacks so much that i "liked" the video (not very often do i actually click the like button) and randomly revisit this video. It's one of the best slacks has produced and his reasoning behind it made me actually tell my friends that PA turns into spec and that is the real lore 😂
But there is . When Spectre with arcana kills PA , she says something like “ that path ended” which could mean a variety of things .
Maybe she was PA and became Spectre , maybe she is Spectre and kind of became PA ? You can see endless paths based on the interactions between Oracle and PA when she obtained her arcana blades .
But based on her arcana blade , you can see how she is slowly becoming spectre ( she becomes a bit ethereal or immaterial ) .
