After that day, he slowly came out of his depression. He almost always had math problems with him, to which his father first railed, but the ardents stood up and said this was the almighty's wish. Wikim started laughing again and even talked of becoming an ardent himself. One day, he thanked Shallan for her help and gave her a pouch with Blackbane. He explained this plant would paralyze and even cut breath, and he had it thinking of suicide but didn't need it anymore. He also explained the plant would become more powerful with time.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
