"Hydaelyn is knowingly eating them to survive." is quite a leap from that known point. (i.e. a valid theory, but just a theory)

Kudos to whoever called it from so far out if it proves to be true, but until then, that's a big ol' [citation needed], imho.
Oh well must have read that somewhere and thought it was the case, sorry. x_x (And if it was true I would not call it knowingly eating them but kinda being forced to do so)

Maybe I saw it as her losing Light because she is growing weaker by those Calamities and her power needs to come from somewhere. Is her power Aether? Or is her power a special kind of one and thus seemingly the Light. (Or is Aether the Light and too much Aether in a world is bad for its people too?) She did get stronger when we gave her some crystals of Light back. And she was able to take back in the Light that was threatening the first shard, which imo should only be possible if she uses this as her power.
