I was recently thinking about the origin of magic in the TVDU, and I realized that Season 4 of Legaciescreated one of the biggest, most undeniable plot holes in the entire franchise regarding Inadu (The Hollow) from The Originals.
Let’s look at the official timeline established by the writers:
The Peopling of the Americas: In the real world, the ancestors of Native Americans crossed into the New World somewhere between 23,000 and 14,000 years ago. After that, they were completely isolated from Eurasia for millennia.
Ben’s Gift (3000 BC): In Legacies, we learn that Ben (Prometheus) stole the magic from the Gods and gifted it to a specific village near the Caucasus Mountains around 3000 BC. This means magic was a localized, finite gift that originated in the Old World only about 5,000 years ago.
Inadu’s Tribe (500 AD): In The Originals Season 4, it is explicitly stated that Inadu was born into a powerful, prosperous tribe of Native American witches in 500 AD.
So here is the massive logical paradox: How on earth did Native Americans become witches if they were already isolated in the New World thousands of years BEFORE Ben even gave magic to humans in Europe/Asia?
By the time Ben handed out magic on the Caucasus, the ancestors of Inadu’s tribe had been living in North America for at least 10,000 years without any contact with the Old World. They couldn’t have just walked over to Ben’s village to grab some magic!
When the writers created Inadu in 2017, they treated magic as a natural, global force of the Earth. But when they wrote Ben’s backstory in 2022, they completely forgot to check the historical geography of their own universe.
Unless we headcanon that a bunch of ancient Eurasian witches pulled off a secret transatlantic voyage in 2000 BC to mingle with Native American tribes, this is just a massive, lazy writing oversight.
What are your thoughts? Do you try to explain this with some wild lore theories, or do we just accept that Julie Plec and the writers’ room failed history class?

I always thought about Original heretics and if I had written a fanfic about him I would have choose someone who is close to Esther and Mikaelson.
And that idea brought me to Dahlia.
Imagine Dahlia getting pregnant from Gemini Coven Leader in 970-71. A child would be born in 971 .
He’s Dahlia’s son ,first born son meaning he inherits that devastating power which is capable of destroying villages.But if the child inherits the siphoner genes. So he must be both empty and full of magic.Let’s name him Kael. Kael would possess his own raw power of a firstborn and siphoning ability like Kai when he merged with Luke.
Dahlia would despise him for being an abomination
If she links herself to him to draw power from him like with Freya ,he would simply siphon off the link between them. Dahlia would isolate him from Freya ,they wouldn’t know about each other’s existence. At the age of 15 Dahlia kicks him out.
He starts his own life without any help or experience only thing he knows is Dahlia’s spell books and magic.He starts to practice dark and sacrificial magic to draw power from deaths.he spends his life in Norway fighting with Covens who are hating him for dark magic and massacres. At the age of 30 he performs a spell which allows him to find his relatives so he finds his aunt Esther and Gemini Coven. But he chooses to go to Esther because her magic seems to him more like his own.He comes to Mystic Falls 3 days before Esther turns her children into OGs. After Henrik’s death at the night he comes to her and by using magic shows her his history.
Esther begs him to help her to find a way to protect her children. Kael becomes co-author of vampirism and becomes the first vampire.He erases Esther’s memories about his existence and runs away from Mystic Falls
