Which Ascians are left? (Spoilers up to 5.4 obviously)

[Anonymoose]

I have a habit of following precedent towards the right questions to ask, and then the thing that "can't happen" happens specifically because at the last second they undermine the very thing I was focused on, so I'm having a BLAST, lol.

Even in this very thread, I'm highlighting how Elidibus has been disintegrated so "Even if his aether was consumed by the tower rather than the sea, the integrity of his soul is compromised, so how can he not be gone?"

And then Endwalker is like, "Well, that's true, buuut..."

I was so stoked when Endwalker validated that so long as Fandaniel identified as Fandaniel his tempering should have been restored (assuming Eden told an accurate story).
For 10 seconds.
Until he revealed he had been rejecting Hermes and identifying as Amon all along.

"......Oh, no."
