Notably, the handoff of the Power of Stormhold is set up to be fully consensual (and not deadly for anyone, under ideal circumstances). The star is currently trapped by the stone, but Primus can free her—and take power for himself—by simply asking for the stone.

As Tristran shapes the candle, it suggests that he’s again drawing on nursery rhymes to get himself and the star out of this situation.
