[He can read into the vague obfuscation in all this--Viktor is not so naive that he thinks any given Summoned is without their own agenda, especially those who have to navigate the precarious environment of Thorne.]
There is a philosophical exercise--a principle that dictates simplicity in problem-solving. If two theories explain the observed facts, the solution with the fewest variables is preferred. That is, barring further evidence, the less complicated explanation is more likely to be correct. Cadens and Solvunn stole knowledge of the ritual from Thorne--imperfect as it is, they didn't have to fumble through trial and error as Thorne did. Why would Nocwich?
