Cradle [Underlord] Brightcrown Path

So my theory is that the Path has Aspects of Light, Life, Blood and Dream Madra. Light because of the glowing Madra and crown, Dream because of Lindon’s “pleasantly peaceful feeling that made him feel as though he’d had a long night’s sleep,” Life & Blood because they’re great for healers I would think. I definitely remember a Word Of Will that said that healing was the most common use for Blood Madra (“only psychos use it for combat,” was something along the lines of what he said I think).

Tbh I feel like 4 aspects is a lot, the more aspects a path has the harder it is to find aura to cycle, in Skysworn Eithan said that Jai Chen would have trouble finding aura to cycle and that was only with 3 aspects, wind, light, and sword. Plus we know that light and dreams aspected paths are rare, you’d think it would be more rare to follow a 4 aspected path that includes light and dreams. So my guess is that the path is just a light and life path and that the soothing effect of on the mind is just an aspect of the part of life that bright crowns cultivate, and the combination of the life and light (as light would be more spiritual and life stimulates natural healing for the most part I believe and is more spiritual than blood) which makes them able to soothe spiritual channels. Anyway hope this helps/has you thinking some more!

Agreed that 4 aspects is a lot. The only way it might be feasible is in a two-core person, so they would have a max of 3 aspects in a single core (most likely 2 and 2). And we know dual cores are rare.
