* BecomingTheMask: Every Craftworlder chooses a particular Path, adopting a vocation and mentality to go along with it. After they feel that they have learned all they can from that Path, they choose a new one, changing vocation and assuming a new mentality. In this way, not only do they learn about particular trades, but also teach themselves various traits to develop their character and establish control over their own passions. However, occasionally an Eldar may become \\\"lost\\\" along a particular Path, no longer able or necessarily willing to adopt a new one, becoming locked into that Path for the remainder of their lives.
** In the case of those on the Path of the Warrior, these Eldar become Exarchs, who will have their souls absorbed into the spirit stones of the Exarch Armor rather than their own, so that their knowledge and guidance can pass onto a new generation, literally becoming the mask.
** In the case of Seers, they become Farseers, their dabbling into seeing the future eventually locking them into a Path in which they can do nothing else but continue. Their bodies [[BodyToJewel gradually crystallize]] as a result of channeling the threads of fate, and they will eventually settle in the Dome of Crystal Seers, becoming a crystal statue that forms a new node in the infinity circuit.
I don\\\'t believe this is an actual example of BecomingTheMask as, from reading the trope page, that appears to be specifically about Moles infiltrating the other side. This seems to be more like a Downplayed SplitPersonalityTakeover, an Exaggerated LostInCharacter, some combination of the two, or something else entirely.
Does anyone have any ideas?

If a reactor did melt down, it wouldn\\\'t \\\"result in tons of radioactive material escaping into the air, water and soil\\\". It would result in the core melting down (hence why it\\\'s called a \\\"meltdown\\\", the core literally melts), and flowing down into a puddle on the floor. Spreading the nuclear material out increases the ratio of surface area to mass, allowing more neutrons to escape, ending the reaction. Sure, that one room would get incredibly hot (both in terms of temperature and in terms of radiation level), but it wouldn\\\'t spread much beyond that. Worst case scenario, if it somehow managed to get into the ground water, it might be able to contaminate a few dozen square miles (this in a country that\\\'s 150,000 square miles).
You also didn\\\'t mention chemical plants, power plants, etc. in your edit, so I don\\\'t know why you\\\'re bringing them up now, but your estimate of the environmental damage they would do is also vastly overstated. Even if every chemical plant in the world contaminated a hundred square miles around it, that\\\'s still a tiny fraction of the Earth\\\'s surface. (Edit: Also, mere chemical contamination would only last decades to centuries, depending on the type of plant, not 3,700 years.)
