I think we (The Fans) are jumping the gun in some regards. KC has always been really good at solid cliff hangers.
Datu said they couldn't read but hinted he could and he had a head ache.... then cliff hanger. Much like when
Saul sounded like he was going to give up
Pegs or when Micheal went "We have to abandon
the Tower!" both were hard bait and switchs. All we know is that Datu could read it and they couldn't and he had a head ache. That has turned into Symbols controlling him... Ink's Tat's controling them... his new Tree Zombie controlled via tattoos.
It could easily be a bait and switch where it is in a regular language he knows and part of his change that just so happened to happen when he started to look at something.
Still very very scared of Magic though...
