That both sources of power must be maintained in order for life to continue on, where dynamis is strengthened through raw emotion and aether through it's understanding. Failing to do so means choosing one over the other and that leads to doom as seen with other civilizations. Harnessing both empowers people to have strength they would not if they simply relied on just one.
Yes i know they say that but my point is there’s little reason given why the ancients couldn’t learn to harness both. It feels like they only implemented this to give as reason as to why the unsundered aren’t so superior to the sundered and it just comes as really shoddy.
