*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

As far as I can recall, no-one notices or mentions getting extra soul in the wake of the 7th Calamity. It stands to reason they wouldn't notice it disappearing either.

And if no one notices, no crime, right? Brilliant. All our would-be villain needs to do is make sure they don't notice it. If their lifespan happens to reduce to the point that they die in say 5-10 years, become more susceptible to disease, or they lose the power to manipulate aether altogether, as hypothetical consequences, as long as they don't notice it, no harm, no foul. All the better if someone wipes their memory of it. A veritable mercy.

Do the people on the First live shorter lives? Are the Garleans better at using magic now they're 7 times rejoined?
