Sam's plan worked. When he aligned all the mazes together. He found a total of eighteen common points in all of the mazes and all these eighteen points have common walls. When he stacked all the mazes together. And eliminated all walls that are not in these common points, he got eighteen long pillars of energy standing there.
Now, he marked all these points within the maze area and drafted all of this on another large scroll.
Then he started creating simulated formations with these eighteen nodes, but he wasn't able to create a maze formation like this. Not even a single maze.
He came to a possible conclusion that these are not the only nodes within. He must have missed somet nodes that are not exactly visible on the maze directly.
So, he can only figure out how the maze works from what he has and also how to destroy the maze within the limitations it gave him.
