  I think I said it already on Zullie&apos;s video: I find that whole concept of glintstone slowly replacing one&apos;s brain incredibly creepy and unsettling.

  A note on red glintstone: the Gelmir staff, intended for magma sorceries, is also set with red glintstone and also scales with faith. It&apos;s also worth noting that the Academy despises death sorcery for relying on faith, same as Aberrant Sorcerery.

  I believe Heretical Rise is Sellen&apos;s former abode. During the fight against or alongside Jerren in Sellen&apos;s questline, she&apos;ll use Founding Rain of Stars, the sorcery you find in Heretical Rise, and is the only magic user you can encounter who uses this spell. It also ties into her study of the Primeval Current, and her being branded a heretic to the Academy of Raya Lucaria who have since sealed Heretical Rise.

  you mentioning the crone made me realize something i&apos;m surprised i didn&apos;t notice before. ranni, renala, and the snowy crone are a reference to hecate. she is the goddess of magic in greek mythology, and is known as the triple goddess because she has three forms: the maiden, the mother, and the crone. like its literally perfect, they&apos;re all extremely powerful practitioners of magic. i love noticing where fromsoft has drawn on real world mythology for their lore

  Part of me wonders if the Primeval Current isn&apos;t just the name that characters give to their galaxy. Instead of the Milky Way, it is the Primeval Current.

  I&apos;ve long had a theory that stars are the servants of the Outer Gods. The Falling Star Beasts/Astel/the Elden Beast, etc all seem to serve other worldly purposes as emissaries but aren&apos;t themselves the supreme beings they serve (I know we&apos;ve discussed them to be more like kami than supreme beings, but alas). Perhaps the Blood Star is akin to the Formless Mother as the Elden Beast is to the Greater Will?<br><br>I think you&apos;re getting too hung up on the literal way these beings are observed. Both the Formless Mother and the Blood Star can&apos;t be interacted with under normal circumstances. Normal people can&apos;t see or interact with them. Only those with accursed blood can interact with the Formless mother, and only those who are blind can see and interact with the Blood Star. Both beings have a pre-requiste to being seen/communed with.

  Finally someone does a cool synopsis of the Blood Star without explicitly stating it’s just another aspect of the Mother of Truth

  It&apos;s interesting that Blood Thorn magic and the Frenzied Flame both dwell in people who have lost their sight, only to be guided to respective lights. It sounds like the Blood Star has to be sought out, while the Frenzied Flame kindles in the &quot;back of the eyes&quot;, as Hyetta puts it. Great video!

  You should look into another notable heretical sorcerer: Necromancer Garris. The sage of Sage&apos;s cave

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RRlpq93Vkc&amp;t=2190">36:30</a> It’s interesting that it’s a Primeval sorcery, since it is always described as something terrifying. One very common literary theme is that when someone sees something terrifying or horrific, they are driven to blind themselves, either as punishment for seeing it or a preventative measure to avoid seeing it again.<br><br>If the early astrologers had already outlawed looking into the darkness between the stars, then the astrologer of the heretical rise could have done it for both reasons; and in blindness he found the Blood Star.
