It's even a better reference if you know Dark Souls lore, The Rekindler flavour text, the design and effect is just perfect! (Tought it might be topical with all this Praise-The-Sun-Leona talk going around)

Lux: "The light shines through me!"

The Rekindler: "As it will forever, my dear."

Its kinda weird, because it is literaly the only interaction the rekindler has, and its not even for a SI champion.

Honestly, I was just trying to figure out avenues for character variety among the Shadow Isles Set 1 followers, and figured it'd be fun to write a character that wasn't all grr 24/7. Rekindler seemed like a good fit from his art, and so we ended up with a sort of removed old soul who feels like a kindly character, but whose lines have this sort of unsettling quality about them. Having him respond to Lux (who's obviously super wide-eyed and sweet) with that same impartial observational tone felt like a fun juxtaposition.

Also they both talk about light a lot.
