Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
How does Thor propose to use The Dark One's purple quiddity to bind the Snarl without breaking the world?
Or, does Thor just want this world to last long enough for The Dark One to have sufficient mana to survive the inevitable destruction of this world and to survive to the making of the next world and thus the proper binding of the Snarl with TDO's purple quiddity?

Thor intends to rebuild/reinforce the Gates with all four divine essences rather than paltry mortal magic. And then to keep patching it up as new rifts appear.

He wants to build better seals to any rifts than the mortals could do.

Then the snarl won't be able to break through.
Though, it may already have done so:

You know, I see a lot of purple in that last frame.

Re: Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
Not necessarily. The Snarl could emerge slowly with time: Think of the rifts as slowly waking him up, but it's not like all five gates break and he emerges immediately: More like every Gate that breaks wakes him up a little more. With this many rifts active, he's rolling around a lot, maybe even waking for a few brief seconds, but he's stuck in bed. With enough rifts, he's able to finally roll out of bed and start going about his day, or, in this metaphor, destroy the world. destroying the final Gate may not immediately wake him up, but it'd be a big enough push to force him into metaphorical-wakefulness, and after that, the end of the world would be a foregone conclusion within maybe a few hours.

Hey, prismatic sphere is valid for permanency; maybe Dorukan tried to seal the rifts that way, before finding something that actually worked!

Re: Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
There's also that all depictions of the Snarl have been many shades of purple- no trace of the Yellow and Green that made it up besides the Red and Blue that might mix to make Purple. Plus, are all things made of a quiddity that combination of colors?
EDIT: Not to mention, that even if the Snarl had Purple quiddity, that wouldn't help against a 4 color seal since the Snarl is still only 4 colors

Re: Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
What if TDO is actually, secretly, a manifestation of the Snarl?

Re: Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
He said they could spot weld the rifts forever. I imagine since he basically said the gods would handle the actual sealing, it won't leave behind a gate that can be broken, it'll just be a location in the world where a rift will never form again but is otherwise indistinguishable from the rest of reality to mortals.

Re: Binding the Snarl with purple quiddty without making the world anew
I'm actually half-convinced that Rich, when he was writing the outline of the story and decided the Quiddities thing would be a plot point, he thought of the idea as a result of the whole "color-coded magic" thing the comic's been doing since day 1. I don't think there's any link there in-universe, but I think, on a meta level, that's what led him to get the idea.
