Imbued Alarms begin as simple, Will-powered tripwires hidden on secret doors in The Will of the Many, but their role expands dramatically as the series progresses. What starts as a passive detection system evolves into an active, multi-layered security network capable of identifying specific individuals, tracking movement patterns, and even relaying real-time intelligence to Hierarchy enforcers. By later books, these alarms become both a tool of oppression and a battleground for rebellion, with characters learning to manipulate, bypass, or weaponize them in increasingly sophisticated ways.
