I think it's about time I also share on this account that I also write! This is a Sulemio fic set some time after the final battle, and before the official epilogue. Hope my fellow sapphics here like it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I haven't completed the entire chapter just yet however

I feel like the way this is described has something to do with the Storm itself. I've never heard of this before obviously (i am not a philosopher lol i just like anime and gacha games) but the way Arcanists and Humans function is similar to the cave allegory in a weird way. We've already learned that not only is there a physical difference between arcanists and humans, but that there's also a mental barrier between the two and that they quite literally perceive the world differently.

Humans use logic to make sense of the world, where as Arcanists use "arcanum" to make sense of the world. And that Arcanum manifests in just all different types of ways. We've seen it before in past events. In the Mor Pankh event, Kaalaa quite literally imagines a monster coming to get her as she tries to do her work diligently, and can conjure up small stars above her head that are clearly only visible to her.

And this newest event is called The Prisoner in the Cave, which is a direct reference to this allegory. I think that the Humans are the "Prisoners" in this supposed scenario and the Arcanists are the people who have the tools and the fire that cast the shadows on the wall they see.

Humans are limited in what they can perceive of the Arcanist world, but Arcanists see everything of the Human world, there's nothing stopping them from knowing about the science and logic that humans use.

This allegory actually has multiple parts and the second part sounds very much like how humans act and function. They cannot comprehend the Arcane world at all, and deny outright that its real even though they are faced with the knowledge of Arcanists being able to do things they can do.

There has always been a level of cognitive dissonance with the human characters in this game, because they know Arcanists are real and exist and that Arcanum is a thing that flows freely in their blood, but that they as humans will never be able to participate in or do. And because they can't do it, they will never really understand how it works, and because they can't reason their way into understanding Arcanum they just outright call it nonsense. Or ask for proof from Arcanists, when there's no proof that can really satisfy the human mind.

And I really think its this part that is really interesting when we think about Humans being the prisoner and the Arcanists being the "mastermind" behind the shadows

because there's only one real source of undeniable Arcanum that affects humans openly in a way they can't deny: The Storm.

After reading about this allegory, it made me wonder if the Storm was also a way to prove something to humans as a whole, to show them firsthand the power of Arcanum in a way they would be able to understand. It sounds like something Arcana would do anyways, she doesn't have any problem transforming random people into Manus drones whenever she feels like it.

And we know that when people are caught in the storm, what do they do? They transform into the very things that were most influential during that time period. They literally poof and abstract away in painting styles and words and even technology etc. It's confusing to look at, but to experience it would be undeniable.
