Where's the aether? (Spoilers)

[Voidmage]

At the end of endwalker, an ancient was actually brought back. Admittedly this was after zodiark let the souls out, but it was demonstrably possible for someone with sufficient aether reserves and magical capability to resurrect 75% of the ancient population. If only the ascians had a sorcerer of eld with explicitly bottomless reserves of mana on their team. The real question is whether or not zodiark had hotswappable batteries.

Help me ot a bit here because my brain has some trouble processing.
Do you mean the scene were Emet and his husband are summoned by us?

But yeah Zodiark seemed to be like a toy you could swap batteries out, only that those batteries wouldn't get used up.
The plan was to swap them out in the end.

I mean... have you tried those Ancient batteries?
They are longlasting, totally green and easy to use. Just sing a sad song and they jump at the opportunity themself.

Runar really got her with that stew back at my place pickup line.

Runar was such a big bro. We went from chad Runar to Wuk Lamat. That's a downgrade if you ask me.
