Interesting, I hadn't thought of that angle. The interpretation that jumped out to me was the Wanda-could-feel-that-she-would-attune-to-the-arkenpliers one.
And yes, the whole build up to Wanda getting the 'pliers just to have them 'yoinked' away at the last second is extremely frustrating...however, we are watching these strips being written and drawn in real-time. Depending on how the final dozen (or however many) strips turn out, someone reading the entire comic in one sitting might not feel quite so frustrated (or at least not for as long!)
