Interestingly enough, a piece of dialogue in Kennith's Concerns may actually support the theory that there was a greater power behind Mother Mallum (and Kennith).

Player: They might have a point... At least this particular ordeal is over.
Ezekial Lovecraft: I wish I could believe that, but I don't think all this happened at the whim of a small, power-crazed child. There is something fundamentally wrong in Witchaven and it won't be addressed until the sea slugs are dealt with, once and for all.
Could easily be referring to Xau-Tak
. Maybe some artefacts or traces of its energy were in or around Witchaven, causing all the weird stuff like the Sea slugs and Kennith's powers to happen.
In all likelihood though, it's probably just an unrelated plot idea that was ignored when Salt in the Wound happened, like many things in the series.
I personally doubt there is actually any developer intent for any connection between the Sea slugs and Xau-Tak, since the only real connection they have is the Sea slug cameo in Rum Deal. Rum Deal pre-dated the Slug Menace by a year or so, meaning most of the "lovecraftian" aspects of the Sea slugs didn't exist at the time. Wilson also had no known involvement in the slug quests, further ruling out any intended connection.
It's still fun to consider though. Developer intent or not, an argument can definitely be made for a connection. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?
