The WoL being abnormally powerful is nothing more and nothing less than an extension of who their soul originally was; the blessing of light -- or traveler's ward, as it should be called -- only protects them from having their aether disrupted by outside sources.

The above said, we are given no reason to believe Venat took an active effort in shaping the WoL beyond providing her ward and some minor direction whenever a shard of Azem happened to appear. She had no way of knowing with precision when or where these shards would even appear, relying largely on what she'd learned in Elpis. Granted, one could make the argument her involvement in and of itself counts on some level, even if only in the sense she knew they would need to act (and die) in specific ways to prevent the timeline from going askew.
See here Mr Nosferatu :>, you contradict this wisdom in your first sentence, and is disproven in ShB since Eldibus-Et-Ardbert body awaken's many people upon the first to being "Warriors of Light" then afterwards we have a whole dungeon where we fight other self-same created "Warriors of Light" including but not limited to a certain Gentleman of Light whom exists at the same time as us, and is definitely not our shard. Similarly there have been many "Warriors of Light" whom are not Azem across the expansions, such as the Zodiac Braves Mustadio, Agrias, and Ramza, whom aren't shards as well. Warrior of Light, just as Warrior of Darkness are just terms used as titles denoting a special type of adventurer, and is not intrinsically tied to the rebirth of the convocation member Azem.
