** Sol points out the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox omniscience paradox]] causing Lumina to vanish in a PuffOfLogic.

* '''Conversed''': [[FridgeLogic Hold on.]] If Lumina is omniscient, then couldn't she explain to Sol exactly why she's doing something and use her limitless knowledge to convince him.

** Lumina belief in her omniscience causes her to become a TautologicalTemplar.

** Lumina's more hideous actions and the negative consequences that follow lead Sol and his party to suspect they're only [[FromBadToWorse making things worse]] by following her lead and that Lumina and her Goddess are [[TautologicalTemplar the actual]] [[GodIsEvil bad guys]] and promptly turn on her, kill her, then proceed to stage a campaign to [[KillTheGod slay her Goddess.]]

** Lumina is as horrified by her actions as everyone else is, [[WellIntentionedExtremist but believes the ends justify her means]], [[NecessaryEvil and forges ahead regardless.]]

** Or, "Lumina" ''is'' that goddess, or and aspect of it, or its herald, or incarnation, and thus its the Goddess challenging them directly and being a goddess, she is nigh perfect.

* '''Reconstructed''': Lumina is given her powers of foresight [[CassandraTruth on the grounds that she can not explicitly share her visions with anyone]], and so in order to help out the protagonists, she gives them friendly, cryptic advice, which they will later come to see is very helpful.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

* '''Conversed''': ???

* '''Lampshaded''': "Instead of telling us of the grim misfortune that will befall us on our journey, why don't you draw us a map, with said misfortunes clearly pointed out, as well as methods to avoid and/or defeat them?"

* '''Deconstructed''': Lumina becomes so convinced that everything she does is justified by her abilities that she begins to stray into AGodAmI territory. This angers her Goddess, who punishes her by cutting off her powers.

** Or, "Lumina" ''is'' that goddess, or and aspect of it, or its herald, or incarnation, and thus its the Goddess challenging them directly and being a goddess, she is nigh perfect

* '''Discussed''': ???

* '''Justified''': Lumina actually ''does'' have a direct connection to her patron Goddess, and everything she puts Sol and the others through is destined to make them strong enough to save the world.

* '''Double Subverted''': However, Lumina justifies this by pointing out how much stronger they became after that trial, and he lets her off the hook.

* '''Subverted''': Sol [[RageAgainstTheMentor calls Lumina out]] on her nearly getting his party killed by being so damn cryptic all the time.

* '''Deconstructed''': Lumina becomes so convinced that everything she does is justified by her abilities that she begins to stray into AGodAmI territory. This angers her Goddess, who punishes her by cutting off her powers.

* '''Defied''': Lumina, aware that she might grow too prideful and come to view herself as infallible due to her gift, sets up a council of trusted, level-headed confidants with whom she can discuss her visions and decide the most prudent course of action.
** Alternately, the TrueCompanions' resident HeroicSociopath has a reputation for stabbing anyone that tries this sort of thing, [[MurderIsTheBestSolution regardless of how rational a decision this is]]. The surviving prophets start giving clearer and more accurate prophecies as a result.

----

* '''Zig Zagged''': Lumina is generally straight with Sol, but misleads him about a few key elements of his destiny, not wanting to let him know certain unpleasant details before he's ready for it. When some of these details surface, Sol lets it slide, because he trusts her and figures that she knows what she's doing... but some of his companions aren't so trusting or willing to give her a free pass. Then one FetchQuest goes particularly bad, leaving [[TheArcher Arte]][[CombatMedic mis]] and [[TeamPet Hoshi]] seriously wounded, and Sol [[BreakTheCutie snaps into full-on]] RageAgainstTheMentor mode. [[GentlemanThief Stellar]], however, takes Lumina's side, arguing she has an OmniscientMoralityLicense. Sol doesn't buy it.

* '''Straight''': The [[{{Seers}} prophet]] Lumina manipulates [[TheHero Sol]] and his [[{{Nakama}} party]] via [[CrypticConversation misleadingly cryptic prophecies]] and [[FromACertainPointOfView twisted truths]] into fulfilling their destinies... just as she has foreseen in her visions.

* '''Played For Drama''': Lumina's visions reveal to her that [[SomeoneDiesTonight one of Sol's friends will make a]] HeroicSacrifice at the next dungeon she's supposed to send them to. She decides not to warn them about this, as [[YouCantFightFate she's already witnessed their demise]] and assumes it's all part of the plan.
