While the terminals conduct their endless simulations, you decide to take a moment's rest...and awaken to a scene of chaos as the devices threaten to overload. Mere moments before they break down, the magick is revealed to G'raha Tia, who heaves a sigh of relief before turning to everyone with a smile. At long last, the world has a cure for tempering."

102,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_110","But when a subject is exposed to the aether of an eikon, this changes, their soul taking on the properties of the entity in question."
103,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_111","By way of an example, exposure to the aether of the Fiend, Sephirot, would cause a subject's aether to become aligned with the element of earth."
104,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_112","As a consequence, the subject would attain heightened affinity with earth-aspected magicks, as well as preternatural levels of endurance. Repeated exposure would further enhance these traits, ultimately altering the subject's very flesh."
105,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_113","The changes undergone by the subject are not solely attributable to elemental alignment, however. Further testing has determined that the subject's soul becomes umbrally charged, or stagnant during the process."

110,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_118","In the course of testing, many of my assistants─good men and women all─fell victim to corruption. And in accordance with protocol, they were summarily put to death."
111,"TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_119","I subsequently submitted a proposal to investigate potential cures for corruption, but it was rejected─deemed “nonessential” by Lord Amon."

100,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_108,The phenomenon we call “corruption” refers to the alteration of the aether of the soul.
101,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_109,Said aether ordinarily exists in equilibrium; no one element being more prominent than another.
102,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_110,"But when a subject is exposed to the aether of an eikon, this changes, their soul taking on the properties of the entity in question."
103,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_111,"By way of an example, exposure to the aether of the Fiend, Sephirot, would cause a subject's aether to become aligned with the element of earth."
104,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_112,"As a consequence, the subject would attain heightened affinity with earth-aspected magicks, as well as preternatural levels of endurance. Repeated exposure would further enhance these traits, ultimately altering the subject's very flesh."
105,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_113,"The changes undergone by the subject are not solely attributable to elemental alignment, however. Further testing has determined that the subject's soul becomes umbrally charged, or stagnant during the process."
106,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_114,"This stagnation of the soul has the effect of diluting the sense of self, rendering the subject vulnerable to the will of the eikon, the thoughts of whom come to consume their entire existence."

110,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_118,"In the course of testing, many of my assistants─good men and women all─fell victim to corruption. And in accordance with protocol, they were summarily put to death."

116,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_124,"True. Yet were we simply to reanimate a tempered soul, I fear it would do naught to diminish the individual's fanatical faith. Indeed, it may well intensify it."
117,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_125,"No, we would somehow need to suppress the primal's hold over the subject at the same time, or risk them ever remaining its thrall."

120,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_A1_000_002,So there's no point in reviving their souls unless we can also restore their sense of self?
121,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_127,"But of course─memory transference! The process has the effect of compartmentalizing memories─separating them into manageable bundles, if you will."
122,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_100_127,"By adapting the technique, it may be possible to achieve *selective* reanimation. That is, limit the effects to only those memories that existed prior to tempering."
123,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_200_127,"Through thus restoring the sense of self, we could theoretically drown out the incitements of false faith which had come to dominate the individual's thoughts."
124,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_100_128,I see... The theory seems sound. And our experience treating the Light-corrupted *would* help us to identify suitable memories for reanimation.
125,TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_128,But are you confident you can adapt memory transference as required? I seem to recall your attempts to do so while trying to bring us home culminated in literal bloodletting.
