Grant asked Garon Whited:

Why doesn't Halar make Amber a new body? Shouldn't it be a simple matter for Halar to take cell samples from Teianna and Timarra, combine them, clone Amber a new body, and use the soul swap table to bring Amber back to true life rather than keeping her as an elemental bound to an burning fire?

Garon Whited While it is possible to do this, has it occurred to him? It wouldn't occur to Amber, obviously. What would Sparky have to say about it? Would the soul-transfer beds even be able to handle the load? And then there's the question of whether or not an incorporeal being occupying an empty body can ever be the "owner" of it, or would simply be "possessing" it indefinitely. Oh, and what happens to the body--a clone of Tianna or Tymara, yes, but grown in a lab rather than inside a fire-witch--when Amber tries to do something miraculous? Are clones of fire-witches empowered the same way? Are the fireproof? And if Amber is inside one when she makes it explode, will she survive it as a disembodied spirit or be disrupted by the interactions of forces?
Oh, and is Eric going to risk it?
