Replaying ShB story and just got to the part where Emet-Selch explains Hydaelyn's power of enervation. Thought I'd do a little math for funsies and share. So if when Hydaelyn sunders/enervates something it halves the power of each and Zodiark was halved 13 times, assuming it is exponential (halving something that has already been halved) as if each shard had exactly half power that would actually create more power, then Zodiark would have 1/8,192 of it's original power. Since Emet explicitly stated that all beings used to live for "nigh eternity" we know that this also affected natural life spans, so we can conclude that pre-sundering folk lived about 8,192 times longer. If we put the natural life span of a person at about 80 that would mean that if the average pre-sundering lifespan, Ascians included, is roughly 655,360 years.
Thanks everybody, enjoy your useless knowledge!
