Anyone up for an exchange of riddles?

I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?

A spirit, of course.

I am educated, and philosophical of mind. Of course, the easy answer would be a hole. Anyone could tell you that. But a man of education would tell you that your riddle's answer is a spirit, as in, the spirit that a man has in him. A spirit can be seen. The gleam in the eye, that leaves once a man has died. The breath, warmth, life, so on. And a good spirit would make a burden lighter--a burden such as a bucket.

So in my education, I still say spirit.

Architecture is but one of my domains of expertise. I have many, many more. And I have spent long hours in taverns and beside campfires, debating with a sweet brother of the Chantry.

Suffice it to say, I now know a lot about the spirit of a man.

[wow ouch]

You can't have met very many people, if that is the case.

[Well.]

How wonderful. I am less pretentious than a man who goes by Twisted Fate. Is it a title? A name? A description of his philosophy? It doesn't matter. Truly, I feel so much better now.

Thank you.

Nooooo, no, no.

[so dire, so serious]

I am languishing in despair now. I can't back anywhere. What if the next thing I say sounds pretentious again? And yet, I know no other way to be. I am now in an ideological quandary. You must cheer me up.

[With some small hope:]

Truly? You would not lie to me on this, would you?
