    I don't think that there was a need to discuss Dynamis at all for the main conflict to exist. The Final Days dates back to Shadowbringers. There also wasn't a need to discuss Dynamis to resolve the main conflict. That comes from the Azem soul crystal, Bunny Magic, an irritated Ascian, King Bowser, and the power of friendship. All of these things were also discussed in previous expansions. Dynamis just provides an interesting framework that links these threads together, while also adding to that sense that there's a lot more to the world that we just don't understand yet. It's also one of the few ways that you can justify something being stronger than Azem at this point, since brute force by means of Aether manipulation doesn't seem to work. Something that properly has mastery over Aether and Dynamis, on the other hand...

    I think that it's going to be a good jumping off point into whatever comes up next.

    Dynamis having a lot of unknowns and comparatively less research is also quite fitting since Dynamis is heavily inspired by and referencing Dark Energy, which is a phenomena that is also very (relatively) unknown unexplored/less researched in real life as well.

    Dynamis does a great job explaining every single Warrior Class story being another variation of

    "Curious Gorge is having trouble controlling his Inner beast"

    Seriously was the Inner beast stuff ever given any actual explanation? Because Dynamis fits it way better then anything else, that shit always felt so random in the wider context of the world at large.

    No, not really. I mean it fits perfectly into that slot now, but it didn't have--nor in some eyes needed--a greater explanation.

    Warrior's whole vibe is borrowing a lot from berserkers and barbarians, and they usually have an 'animalistic urge' thing going on. Frankly most of their explanations are either nonexistent or don't hold up either, but a lot of them go for the general gist of 'humans have beastly and animalistic urges that we naturally suppress, but we can become Like Beast if need be'.
