cometaryorbit Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I wonder if the redness from corruption means specifically conflicting or 'corrupted' Investiture in the Spiritual (the soul of a living person "fought against the rewriting"). I don't think it's about conflict of Shards since both soulstamps and Selish people's Innate Investiture should come from the same Shards (the Dor). So Lift using Lifelight doesn't turn her eyes red because the Lifelight isn't really integrated into her soul/Spiritual, it's created from food and used basically in the Physical. Nightblood smoke is not red because Breaths are largely in the Physical, they're eaten and "excreted" as smoke, but not integrated into Nightblood's "soul" or Spiritual Aspect. Glys and Fused's eyes would then be red even when not using powers because their own being is inherently corrupted Investiture, it's inherent to their Spiritual nature, not just the "fuel" (like Light or Breath) they use. Venli is weird, not sure which state (red or normal eyes) is "default".
