<Wackado theory≥
The book of kings was rewritten as the book of wilds(think I got that the right way round)
There are people who survived the removal of magiq and kept some element of memory about it, eg Marty and Sullivan Green.
They’re not exactly, at the time, high understanding magiq users.
What if this veil were trying to penetrate is a protection spell from the books to transfer magiq users from 1 book to the next safely?
The veil isn’t a great magiq at the end of a book, Ds show down with the storm was.
The king’s/wild rewrite had its own veil that protected Marty and Green etc, but as magiq users who didn’t know their power or have the desire to contact people, they didn’t notice the veil. As a rewrite, rather than a chronological transition the veil couldn’t 100% protect them as it wasn’t designed to work that way. Instead of coming out whole, they were got by the rewrite and the veil was able to leave a breadcrumb in their memory…
The door deciding what gets in/out is acting as a filter to only accept into the protection those who can’t protect themselves but need safety.
Anyone who is in or who can get to neithernor, is considered capable of getting themselves to safety and therefore not eligible for the veils protection.

I voice this theory as a result of fear that we don’t know the veils purpose, and we might through this spell or through other actions weaken that protection…
