@Nomixam : my understanding simon lack of potential, but his willpower is an epic-level [riala word " Are you going to starve yourself of sex until you die? You probably could, with your willpower."]. Adsorb the shard give him the raw power his lacking, and his will is enough to control the shard and not be controlled by it. Yeah Simon's strengths are defensively oriented. His willpower, tactical ability, and his intelligence are his main strengths before and after he got his shard. He was able to resist lust damage (and lust effects?) before he got the shard too. Simon is basically a turtle that is also a tactician and a politician. It could just be that's the way his soul is, strong on defense but lacking in offense. Also why wasn't he put in a position of command during the war? It seems like a natural fit for someone like him. Of course him being put into a position like that and then making a costly mistake might be why Geoff bears such a grudge.
