Bolvar was actively forcing the Helm and the scourge it commanded to do the exact opposite of what they were designed to do. On top of that he was stuck in a fairly perpetual mental struggle with Zovval, the helm’s true master, to do so. That struggle is one Bolar admits he nearly lost more than one time during his time on the frozen throne. It is amazing he did as much as he was able to, given all he had going against him.
