Elemental Calamities

[YianKutku]

Calamities can absolutely be astral or umbral, as can all aether. While I do admit what the Seventh Umbral Calamity would look like is speculation, there is some smidgens of clues in the game. Hydaelyn is weakening. She is less and less able to speak, let alone act or exert her power in any way. She is becoming more passive, which is the key word that designates umbral. Dalamud's descent clearly triggered a huge upset of aether in the short term. What the above quotes partially reference is that this imbalance was not just short term, but long term or even permanent. That's the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

Do you mean the Eighth Calamity, or that the Seventh Calamity is still happening?
