Of course, depending on how quick that separation is done, the pilot might still suffer mental damage. And since fusing with the Core is their despair move since they don't want to lose, and we'd have to win the battle first before we could even attempt anything... doesn't look too good. I think they can only be saved if they don't pilot their Weapon at all.
I don't think it'd take a blade of light. We'd just have to like, have some sorta magic EMP that could shut down the weapon completely when the energy started to spike during the override sequence, I think... I'm looking forward to finding out though!
