#and fordola is able to escape being tempered and she has a store bought echo and not the blessing so

all right well what i’ve learned from the rabbit hole i just went down is that trying to understand the echo and the blessing of light is a fools errand

#i mean i understand the echo being an awakening of the sundered soul #a fraction of a power we used to have as ancients #which is why the ascians have it and venat shows us how to properly use it #i guess the blessing is the spell she recognized on us #maybe she casts that on people when she does her little 'hear feel think' thing? #and if that protects from the corruption of aether than it is what protects us from primals not the echo #which would make sense i suppose if emet and the others were still tempered by zodiark despite having the full version of the echo #and i suppose it makes sense that while midgardsormr could cut our connection off #he probably couldn't remove hydaelyn's ward #so we still would have been safe #hm ok #maybe thinking outloud kind of worked #i may not be right but i've come up with something that makes sense to me #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #personal #well but wait if hydaelyn's traveler's ward is what protects from tempering #doesn't zenos say some shit about the echo and primals #before he uses it to become one #and fordola is able to escape being tempered and she has a store bought echo and not the blessing so #ok i'm back to my original conclusion this is a fools errand #i don't care anymore
