(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.
