hmmmm, i guess maybe kindling the First Flame would repell the dark and the curse, but only temporarily. Vendrick was human, but like Gwyn and other dieties, he did not drop Humanity, even though other dieties didn't appear hollow. we kinda know that the Flame need Souls to burn... idk where im going with this. maybe hollows just need strong enough souls to become "unhollow" but with the Dark Soul they only need a little piece of it. Nito is a bunch of skeletons though, idk if he even could go hollow.

The DS2 Sunlight Spear says its one of original miracles, then perhaps one other could be pyromancy, and a third could be the secret of resurrection, something Pinwheel couldve stolen from Nito.

But since they all came from hollow form, whats to say that Gwyn wasnt cursed aswell? just cuz he got a Lord soul instead of a piece of the Dark soul, what is there to prove that Humanity is the only way to reverse hollowing?
