How strong is the Warrior of Light?

[Cleretic]

Does being more rejoined than others matter though ? Ranjit and Ardbert are 1/14 of a Ancient and he kicked our 8/14 ass.

The Ascians seemed to think it mattered.

We kicked their asses pretty soundly. If anything it seems like there's a negative correlation, the more fragmented-down souls seem to have an edge in at least the initial fights. (Or, more likely, it doesn't actually correlate to any meaningful level.)

This is wrong. Partially. Very few other characters residing on the Source are sundered. They're all entirely new life that has sprung up after the sundering. None of them have benefitted from the previous Rejoinings. They don't have other parts of their soul out there in the Rift. They're just 1/14th the aetheric density or whatever of the Ancients. The only exception I can currently think of is Fandaniel.

I'm not sure I'd say 'very few' so much as 'not everyone'. We don't actually have anything resembling an actual metric on how many people are sundered Ancient souls (and thus have capacity for the Echo) versus not--and we aren't even all that clear on what that 'not' group is exactly, we only barely got an explanation from Alisaie--we just know that both are some amount of the population.

My gut feel has always been that the Lifestream has a specific amount of Echo-capable Ancient souls in circulation, so there's always somewhere near the same amount of those souls in 'the system', and the rest are the non-Ancient souls. Mainly I have that theory because it accounts for the First getting a weirdly high amount of Echo-havers in 5.2 and 5.3; because the First has a much lower population, that means a higher proportion of it are those Ancient souls.
