I guess there's not anything specific to take away other than that it IS possible to do awesome things without aether, we just can't deduce HOW it is possible.Even random temple knights could do this, which is even more crazy. Hell if you observe in the cutscene a few are soloing dragons as if it were a medieval battle and they were all separating into separate duels. They ultimately lose, but just being able to survive even without force of numbers for more than a few seconds against a monster with magic breath and armor piercing fangs is kinda beyond most humans IRL I think.
Also, SE? You and me need to have a talk about Lucia BLOCKING MAGIC. That's bullshit because I can't do it even with Bulwark OR Sheltron. :<
It is, but we also can't really tell if Templars are specifically armed or armored to be able to handle dragons. The game never says explicitly one way or not how it works, so it's either specialized equipment that allowed them to not melt immediately or it's one more discrepancy in the list of things people can or can not do. Lucia's actions further muddy the waters.
I think SE's just fucking with us.
