Oh, agreed. It just struck me that it works as a parallel. (Sometimes you piece together bits of myth and find out they are parts of an older and bigger story.)

Mmm... That brings up a question, since certainly Harmast did one to get
Arkat. I know Arkat is considered the real pioneer there, did he start
that pioneering before Harmast brought him back, or was it that
experience that started him down the road of just what you COULD do if
you started such things?
