We found Wanderer's Journal 1! It gives a very vague backstory of the Wanderer, as I expected. The backstory is simply that the Wanderer's home was destroyed by Oryx. It also says her portal creation powers were only awakened after this event. With this information, I present a new, more refined Wanderer theory: She was created by the Crystal Entity as an experiment to live amongst the surface folk and learn more about them. After Oryx destroyed her village, however, the Crystal Entity awakened her powers to repurpose her as a weapon against Oryx. After all, she already had a strong hatred for him.

But hey, that's just a theory... A game theory! Thanks for watching.

Portals might require high mana powers so it need crystal/stone to store, or maybe crystal have to do with portaling or magic in general. Trickster can teleport, and they using crystal (prism) Staves/wands are basically crystal with sticks, they might work like creating portals near the sun transfering the energy into users as projectiles. Hence also why the only mining bussines exist in the game is....mining crystals (crystal cavern).

This is incredibly well researched and makes a lot of sense! I love when people do stuff like this, it makes the game feel more immersive for me personally and I would one day like to contribute to that. Sadly, I seem to be lacking your big brain ideas... :D The moment that really hit me came right after 3:03. Despite the incredibly limited amount of lore available to us from the creators of the game, there is a lot of reasoning behind it and it was pure deduction on your part. Very well done!!

The Wanderer doesn't have any attacks, phases, dialogue, anything to indicate she was created by the crystal entity

That's why it's a theory. Do you have any alternative ideas for the Wanderer's origins?

@@CadJones I feel like a theory should have more of a basis though. Anyways, according to the official lore the Wanderer wants revenge on Oryx, so realistocally, she's probably from some oppressed group or race of humanoids

@@Voldycssm19 There is very little Wanderer lore to go off of, the theory is based on all the lore we do have. Based on Wanderer's Jornal 1, she gains these powers after witnessing Oryx destroy her home village, so it's likely not a normal thing for whatever race she was living among. That means it had to come from elsewhere, and most of the interdimensional travelers we know about are tied to the crystal entity. I wrote an update theory based on Wanderer's Journal 1, which you can read in the pinned comment.
