Wait! I think I just got where you are going with this--either that or I'm crack potting. Either way: slow brain walking here.
BeautifulBacon's argument about the magic of the tent and the tower; the repeat of 7 against 3; the repeat in the novel of sacrifices that may not have been intended, but still end up being "death pays for life;" the magic in the tent takes TSTMTW, but the fight at the tower leaves Jon alive and with the man who will love him as his own and take him north, where he needs to be--Arthur wouldn't have to know that his death and/or the deaths of the others at the tower (7 against 3) could be a sacrifice for Jon (wherever Jon is). But it could still work.
Is this how the Sword of the Morning is chosen? Or made? Is this why the constellation presents itself to Jon, glowing like the Wall?
