Though he was still capable of influencing people through speaking into their minds and manipulating text.

One cycle, he attempted to manipulate the Hero of Ages to free him, by manipulating the Terris prophecies. But to his dismay, Kwaan noticed his tampering and sent [[Rashek]] to stop [[Alendi]] from releasing him.{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} Rashek would come to kill Alendi and take up the power for himself, becoming the Lord Ruler and further perpetuating Ruin's imprisonment. This also led to an immense change in Scadrial's geography, ecology, and orbit, and the death of most of its inhabitants.
