The problem might be in my mind.
If I could suggest an answer, though i would like to hear T's as well... I believe by offering Jake as a sacrifice, Walter was bound to palaver with Roland and show him the vision he shows him. Had he not dropped Jake, he'd never had had the palaver and may not have been imbued with the power to draw, or at least not the knowledge of it.
