Resist - Light based Aspect used at Battle of Camps to block a fellow hero's blow from harming him^[1]
Flicker - A Light based full body simulacrum of Antoine (including his sword) that can be used offensively to strike from a distance^[2] or defensively to ward off a single blow^[3]
Kindle - While the details are as of yet unknown, this Aspect appears to grant Antoine a limited quantity of LIght he can use to empower himself in a fight without the exhaustion of "true Light"^[4]
