What striked me the most was this image. If you've completed the SCoB,you'll notice this exact same beam striked down Nael Deus Darnus before she got blown up into Aether by Louisoix. http://puu.sh/evOqZ/602083b7b3.pngWhat if this isn't just a coincident but rather, certain Primals or individuals who have large amounts of aether in them (Louisoix was a primal at this point) can use this beam?
What if it was Midgrasdomr that used it? Or one of the Ascians actually kill us off, we return moments later but fully infused with Aether?
This sounds EXTREMELY far'fetched, but what if us dying, converting into Aether and returning again, grants us a greater power or a completely new combat mechanic we can use in 3.0?
