In lots of other media, holy stuff looks more 'golden light', whereas here, it's a whitish-pale blue color, which lends more to the idea of it representing 'sterile'. Lots of stuff portrays 'the Light' with a capital L as being a benevolent, caring and nurturing force, often as the center of religions (WOW a good example). Here, 'Light' isn't caring, or benevolent, it's cold, does not discriminate, and does not 'feel'. It's just another 'destructive force' like a wildfire or tsunami. And it is scary when it's at it's full strength.

Imagine a practitioner of magic that says 'I have mastered the element of fire! I can sear the flesh from your bones!', and then another that says 'I have mastered the aspect of passivity, of stasis. I can force your body's natural processes to grind to a standstill, your heart to stop beating, your lungs to stop drawing breath, all as you are painfully aware of your mortality in those final moments', which sounds stronger? They're both pretty powerful in their own way, but something about the second one would scare me more I think. I understand fire, I'd associate the pain with 'this is what will kill me', but 'my body stops working how it should'? That's bloody terrifying. And PLD can throw that 'element' at their foes every 7-ish GCDs now. Guess it's a matter of perspective.

If anyone says 'Holy Spirit needs better animation' though, yeh agreed, snowflake looking animation looks kinda meh
