Where's the aether? (Spoilers)

[Voidmage]

Whether that's meant to be immediate or not I have no idea, but Emet-Selch once said that if there's a full rejoining "you have nothing to lose" because you're "of the Source" implying the Warrior of Light wouldn't have to die.

I always took that as twofold:

The source soul is the one who always comes out on top.

It was less about „us“ and more about our soul.
He mostly saw us as Azem not as the WoL.
If we died and been reborn in his eyes we would still be us. He looked at the color of the soul first and foremost.
Or it was an attempt to Ascianicize us as death doesn’t matter to them.

I wholeheartedly agree on all your other points here.
