Long Answer

1. Light represents good, and dark represents evil in the novel. Alina is the Sun Summoner, her power embodies her goodness and willingness to help others. The Darkling’s power is darkness, and his symbols are an eclipse and black. His power represents selfishness and greed. (Various chapters)

2. Alina’s sacrifice and mercy toward the stag ultimately enable her to access her powers despite the Darkling’s hold on her. Alina was willing to sacrifice her life for the people of Ravka, but Mal was unable to follow through on his promise to kill her. In this way, the author positions mercy and sacrifice as some of the most powerful magic in the Grishaverse. (Various chapters)
