Something I've never truly understood about the Occult path is that any weapon upgraded down this path becomes "a weapon to hunt the gods". However, if these are "unholy" weapons, then why do they give you better Faith scaling than Divine ("holy") weapons?? Faith would normally be attributed to worshiping a god (or Lords, in this case) no? So the biggest question, then, is: who (or what) is the Occult path attributed to?

Perhaps the Divine and Occult weapons represent the struggle between Light and Dark to dominate the other. Divine weapons would be used to hunt down agents of the Dark, and vice versa for Occult. This might be possible, considering the Church of Thoruland, agents of the Lords and the Light, hid the Occult ember, a vital tool to aide the Dark, in the Painted World of Ariamis, a world separate from this struggle.

What do you guys think?
