Like the Darkness, the Light appears to be intelligent in some sense. However, whereas the Darkness seems all too willing to communicate with its servants in their own languages, the Light appears to be more aloof and cryptic, communicating in symbolic visions and signs, if at all. Likewise, whereas the Darkness appears to be associated with memory (as exemplified by [[Deepsight]]), the Light appears to be associated with forgetting, as Lightbearers lose all memory of their past life upon being resurrected and gifted the Light. | Like the Darkness, the Light appears to be intelligent in some sense.

As hypothesized by Osiris, the Light seems to be connected to the physical universe, whereas the Darkness appears to be more strongly related to thought, emotion and consciousness more broadly. This dichotomy can be seen in the nature of the elemental manifestations of Light and Darkness: Arc, Solar and Void all grant control over physical forces (electricity, heat and gravity, respectively), whereas Strand allows one to manipulate the psychic "threads" connecting all conscious beings, and Stasis may be seen as embodying the abstract concepts of will and control. | |||
