What you're doing here is a propositional fallacy. You're saying "If Soul Splice, then full hit points. Full hit points, therefore Soul Splice."

Either that or you're just not comprehending that the Soul Splice is what enables those things to have happened. V has most assuredly NOT been Spliced. It was called a "once in a century" thing, first of all, and it hasn't even been a year yet let alone a full century. In addition, there's no change in his appearance and there's no soul(s) talking to him.

Now, could the Fiends have some other method to restore hit points and spell slots? Sure, but there's no evidence whatsoever of that. Even if we grant that they did, we only know the Splice does both. Some other method need not do both.

Meanwhile, V's statement can be quantified by the rules. I think it's better to go with the rules-based interpretation first.
