What is the extent of the WoL's powers?

[Mixt]

Well, if we wanna go into the pure speculation field i have my own hypothesis, though it lacks conclusive evidence in either direction.

I call it the "Spirit Bomb On Legs" hypothesis

The things that led me to come up with the idea being as follows.

1: I seem to recall something about the official explanation for how Limit Breaks function is by having a group pooling their strenght into one guy, though some individuals can pull them off solo (I'm looking at you Godbert) correct me if i'm wrong here.

2: Emotions and beliefs of intelligent beings can do funny things with Aether, with Primals being by far the biggest and most obvious example, and as Shinryu proved worship is not a needed component there, the dying hatred of a large number of people worked just as well. Other emotions should also be able to have effects.

3: The Echo has this whole thing about tearing down the barriers of the soul and enabling interaction between the spirits of distinct individuals

Question: What happens if a large quantity of positive emotion like Hope, Gratitude, ETC (Like say, entire nations worth?) is directed at a meatbag/Not A Primal being with The Echo/An Open Soul?
Does anything happen?

4: Sudden large jumps in combat ability coinciding with meeting, helping and gaining the goodwill of large numbers of people, like say, going from getting stomped flat by Zenos to standing on even footing with him in a very short amount of time. Doesn't say much on it's own, but combined with the above points it makes me somewhat suspicious.

Hypothesis: Blame The Echo for giving the WOL a Spirit Bomb type boost drawn from the collective wellspring of all those who look up to them.

Conclusion: Untestable, requires additional data points.
