[Spoiler] Isn't Dark Knight using Akasa ?

I'd say that a lot of what we do is a combination of Aether and Dynamis. The whole point of us being sundered is that as whole beings of such strong Aether, we drowned out Dynamis. Once sundered, we are better able to manipulate the latter, though it's done unconsciously. Something like the Warrior's Berserk state to me is an example of us combining Aether and Dynamis into a form we can use. Which is why we're so strong-- we're not limited to just one form or the other, but combine the two for something greater.

Right, and to add to this - the fact that it's an unconscious thing isn't to say also that it's not a thing that we tap into regularly, either. Maybe it's not as intentional as manipulating aether in order to cast a spell, or something that we can do so easily. But I'd argue that if dynamis is influenced by strong emotions, if it's something that aids us in our hour of need but not something we can harness directly at will, would not a dark night opening the flood gates to the dark, strong emotions within them and unleashing power that transcends what they'd normally be capable of due to the sheer intensity of their emotions be an example of an extreme circumstance? Would it not be a situation where, while we're not directly able to control dynamis, we're doing something that allows us to be more susceptible to its influence?

I've always wondered "but wait, how exactly are we doing this?" for things like that, so I rather like that dynamis can help fill in those gaps.
