Unukalhai [SPOILER Discussion]

[Anonymoose]

He was able to enter the Waking Sands despite the protection it was under by the Blessing of Light.

If I remember correctly, the Blessing of Light only protected our world from interactions with transmigratory Ascians (from other worlds). Lahabrea and Elidibus were raised from the Source to begin with, so they had fewer limits. I think it was also implied to apply only to actually physically interacting with things. Nabriales could watch all he wanted, but he couldn't take the staff until the Blessing went down and he possessed someone. I'll double check...

How would he know where the staff was if he couldn't look? Not sure Lahabrea or Elidibus would tell anyone where it is in case they have specific plans for it another could screw up...

Update on...

If I remember correctly, the Blessing of Light only protected our world from interactions with transmigratory Ascians <...> physically interacting with things.

If you take all four languages and combine what bits they offer, Nabriales says:

And just how do you plan to stop me, Abandoned of the Light? Without your gifts, you are powerless to do so.

...What, you didn't even know? Hah! Allow me to enlighten you. One who receives the Blessing of the Light is protected; not even this base was an exception. My kind was denied access to your domain. Well, not all of us. Against originals such as Lahabrea and Elidibus, it did quite little; they could come and go as they pleased. But those like me - transmigrated from another world - we were left out. But I need watch from a distance no longer. I've never been the patient type, and with this cane I'll invoke the next Rejoining myself!

How would he know where the staff was if he couldn't look?

Kind of a throw-away line, but when Nabriales realizes you lack the Blessing of Light (in Japanese), he contemplates taking you out before deciding that, seeing as you're no longer a threat, it'd be a waste of time to do anything but claim "that cane white-robes spoke of" since he can use it to circumvent him and Lahabrea. Recall that when Minfilia first notices Elidibus' presence in the Waking Sands, he's admiring Tupsimati and musing to himself.
