I mean, he's pretty out there. Plus, he's crazy enough to think 'if I ever touch anything from the rest of the world, my powers would be grounded and corrupted like it is' and then when his palanquin got blasted he immediately had a litter made of crude branches. Branches? You mean parts of that world that should ground and corrupt your powers because they come from 'the rest of the world' that is also spiritually and physically corrupt? Unless he was carrying around a bunch of crude branches from Lustrian trees, which...for some reason I just sorta doubt, then...yeah. He's kinda nuts.
