About the Blessing of Light and the Echo

[LilimoLimomo]

Yo friends, I need help clarifying the difference between two, so if I have it right:

The Echo
- Let’s you see into someone/something’s past (can be controlled apparently)
- Resist primal/corrupting influence (or impose your own influence in the case of resonant)
- A Universal translator
- Some users have unique ability

The Blessing of Light
- Resist primal/corrupting influence
- An affinity toward light? (Although there’s a limit, we can absorb a good bit of light has shown in ShB)
- Be empowered by Haedelyn?

I've been thinking about this thread as a I replay content and here are some observations:

• I don't believe we ever see anyone with the Blessing of Light who doesn't also have the Echo. So the Echo may be a prerequisite to have the Blessing of Light.

• It seems like having the Blessing of Light and being a Warrior of Light are the same thing?

• For our WoL as well as the Warriors of Light from The First, acquiring a Crystal of Light gifted to them by Hydaelyn after an act of heroism seemed to be a meaningful aspect of — if not the defining feature of — what makes someone a Warrior of Light. This theory seems reinforced by the fact that when Midgardsormr removes the Blessing of Light from our WoL, it is represented by the removal of the 6 Crystals of Light we had previously collected.
