I'd forgot about the Dark Crystal, but I think those were needed to cross the realm? I'd have to re-watch that 'summary explanation' cutscene again to be sure.
As for A-Towa's case, I truly don't remember if it was ever explained just how he managed to do what he did. It's been a while since I looked into that storyline, it would be worth revisiting those cutscenes and journal entries. Though like I said it's possible that it is his position as a Padjal and his connection to the Elementals that allowed him to survive, although if the Thyrus' resting place is any indication as to where he died, he died far from the Black Shroud.
And yeah I had considered the similarities towards primals and the constant need of aether to fuel the body as a result from it. Would certainly change a person's life around entirely, but its a cost that makes sense.
