Also, when you're divested of the Blessing of Light and regaining it, you still seem to be able to see the past all Echo-like. Â So they're definitely not the same thing.
It could be that you need a blessing of something to make the Echo work and those beings that can use it without the Blessing of Light are getting a blessing from something else.
Personally, I think this falls under the "unreliable narration" rule that Fernehalwes has brought out. It's clear neither the Scions nor the Students of Baldesion actually know what the Echo is, and they usually conflate it with the Blessing of Light. Personally, I feel that the Echo is probably a prerequisite for the Blessing of Light (or the Blessing of Darkness?), but more importantly, I think it's fair to say that Krile is speaking based on her knowledge, which isn't 100% accurate based on the Ascians' use of the Echo.
