I like the notion that the Spike is a God Learner construct. It seems very
Monomythic to me. (Mind you, I'm still rather enamored of the Monomyth, but
it makes more sense to me as a conflation of all the"local" World
Mountains".) If that's true, however, them we don't know what catastrophic
event created Magasta's Pool. Do myths of The Spike occur in the same
mythologies, as Magasta's Pool? Or are they only associated in GL sources?
Offhand, I can't remember if any of the Sea Pantheons have a Spike myth.
