This does seem to be a very reasonable assumption! :)

The last time I saw a table of correspondences was in
the RQ2 era - is this still the case? I like the
conclusions you're coming to here, but let's be sure.
I'd always thought Sun was associated with Vision (a
bit obvious, I know, but ISTR specific healing spells
and so on).

Yes, a nasty trap to be in.

Just a thought - much later in history (fourth age?)
we have the Illiteracy Era and Minarian Memory
Removal. Both of which would also seem to involve
mythic(?) damage to brain functions. Any useful
parallels?
