As the one who activated it, that was how it worked. The Name that was smuggled out of Heaven was Ar-Rafi, the Exalter. It is responsible for miracles of redemption, personal empowerment too - it can be used as a destructive force, but it can also do far more than help one Peregrine. I could either have made a miracle so grand that it would leave for Heaven on its own, or allow Ezeriou to keep the Name and deliver it to the demon army. I thought what you have been referring to as a "nuke-equivalent" should not fall into demonic hands.

We all saw first-hand what struggles the Peregrines were going through, saw the oppression they faced by the rest of Melasurei! Most doomed to attack others to survive, more still doomed to serve cruel masters... and you are worried about the local balance?! They are souls, Naoki, living souls! They are not some simple product to be bought and sold! They are not slaves!
