CoLS— questions and answers! Spoilers!

On stabbings and heavenly fire.

firstdreamofmysoul asked you:
Hi! I just finished CoLS at five in the morning! It was glorious (and I loved the subtle TID hints btw). I am a bit confused about one thing : if Clary had stabbed Sebastian instead, would Jace still have been burned like that through the bond and ended up becoming a human torch? And since Sebastian is not dead and Glorious destroys those who are more evil than good, does that mean there’s still some goodness in him?”
I wonder if people have gotten all the TiD hints…? :)
If Clary had stabbed Sebastian with Glorious, Sebastian would have been destroyed by the heavenly fire, because in fact, there is not enough good in him to survive what it does. Jace barely survived and he is basically a quite good person. The fires of Heaven are unforgiving.
Jace would not have been harmed, though, because the whole point of Glorious was that it was a weapon that could hurt one of them and not hurt the other. Thus the whole folderol about retrieving it from the Angel. Sebastian wasn’t harmed or affected at all by Jace being stabbed: he screamed because he felt their bond being cut, but that’s all he felt.
