I guess so. I hope they're gamma waves—that would be really cool.

@Etcetera

Gamma waves? Apologies; I remain fairly illiterate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

So the two extremes are light and... stuff?

@Etcetera

Apparently. Presumably, once we figure out what "stuff" is, it'll make much more sense.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

I find that when referring to darkness, most beings aren't actually referencing the lack of light. They want something with more substance.

@Etcetera

Spirit's shadow is metaphorical, since it's tangible, not caused by the absence of light, and in general not much like shadow.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

It's just the lack of light.

@Etcetera

Which raises another problem: how can that fuel his mind? So we face two dilemmas which, if solved, could probably help us a lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Huh. What about Wraith?

@Etcetera

He was born in an opposite circumstance. Spirit's morality was being reborn, and his immoral personality needed a way to save itself. I had already been formed out of light; it decided to use shadow instead. But what channels darkness? We've no real idea.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Where would you go if the light were snuffed out?

@Etcetera

Well, I would die. Thankfully, I planned for that, and I have reserves of energy to support my consciousness in the event of a total blackout on my body.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

But you're here physically.

@Etcetera

Right. Because I'm not made of pure light; that's a position that is untenable for longer than a few minutes. Instead, I'm made in such a way as to channel light as efficiently as possible. My body is one giant, multifarious prism, and light is my lifeblood.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Huh?

@Etcetera

I was born from Spirit's dying morality. More accurately, when Spirit was being Snapped, his mind took all of his morality and shoved it into a new person in an effort to preserve his morality for the future. Of course, it needed an actual person, and making all those cells and things was a little bit beyond it. What it did have was light and shadow.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

What reason?

@Etcetera

Me.
