Powerstone, Would it work on the Sylvari?
It’s an interesting thought, but it’s important to note that it didn’t make the Dragonspawn less hostile. It’d depend, I think, on what Mordremoth is doing to the sylvari- is he just overriding their will, or is he erasing or rewriting parts of their minds? If it’s the latter, just breaking the connection wouldn’t suffice to stop them from fighting for the dragon, and returning them truly to what they had been may well be impossible. The avenue of the link might matter as well- I don’t think Caithe would’ve consented to be tattooed if it cut her off from the Dream, so if that is in fact how Mordremoth is getting to sylvari, the powerstones would probably be useless.

I think they were controlled, since they didn’t grow under the dragon’s influence, each have their own thoughts.
Had their own thoughts. What I’m saying is that part of the corruption may have removed some of that capacity to think. We don’t know enough about the process yet.

I don’t think it’s the case, otherwise the Sylvari HoT story would be no different than fighting other dragon minions. The egg also hinted that we would try to break them from the dragons’ control.
