Can Humans transformed into Pirmals temper?

[Layte_Aeon]

This is kinda true, but not quite right.

There is one specific thing that feels like it's codified as 'the Blessing of Light', and it's the 'traveler's ward' that protects against aetheric corruption. it is specifically a ward, it does this very specific thing, it has never been any form of tempering, and in fact the only person in-universe who ever suggests that it's tempering is immediately told that he's wrong by his own god, who's kind of an expert on the subject. (Weird how people only ever remember and put weight on one half of that exchange.)

Other acts by Hydaelyn aren't 'the Blessing of Light' and don't ever seen to be specifically called that in the game by my reckoning, but are understandably sort of rolled up into a similar ballpark by some. But if someone ever specifically refers to 'the Blessing of Light' as a specific, non-abstract thing, then it refers to the traveler's ward. Kind of a squares and rectangles thing.

Really? I could have sworn the Encyclopaedia Eorzea 1 had a page on the Blessing of Light which described it as Hydaelyn’s direct interventions. And I’m pretty sure no new info contradicts that, this game’s usually pretty good about that.

You're right about that section, and I did forget it! I blame the fact its text kinda blends in to the art behind it, so I kept skipping it.

That said, the way the writing has evolved over the years since then made the term much more specific in its use; in Shadowbringers and especially Endwalker, the 'Blessing of Light' is used exclusively to describe the corruption protection, perhaps in part because at that point Hydaelyn wasn't really doing any of the other stuff. It's not exactly contradictory to that paragraph in the EE1, so much as a necessary narrowing of terms: as the story started focusing much more on this one specific thing Hydaelyn was doing, it started becoming the Blessing of Light, if only because that one specific thing needed a name.
