Actually I think I'm the one who wasn't clear this time - I didn't think that you were suggesting Halo was powered by the Lantern spectrum. I just thought your pointing out the visual parallel was neat, and then wanted to use that to segue into something I was thinking - that, in universe, to the people who know the Lantern spectrum backwards and forwards, Halo's powers must seem oddly off. Sorry to be confusing!
Man I have a lot of thoughts about the reveal in Overwhelmed, but there's no way to type them all on phone. To sum up: [SPOILER] Honestly I think my read on it was that everything in the mindscape, except for the visit from the girls and the reminder tv shows (and maybe not even those!), came from Artemis. It's certainly within M'gann's power to make stuff like that happen, but in this case I don't think she did, or perhaps even would. Part of that is that, honestly, imo, overwhelmed!wally sounded far more like himself - especially his s2 self - than dick' s actual fever hallucination. I think Artemis really knew deep down that Wally would not have wanted her to spend her life mourning him, and M'gann just gave a voice and face to those memories. Even the reminders in the form of Zatanna's show and Hello Megan might have been Artemis' will to live and ties to life needling at her. And while M'gann would certainly be willing to trick Artemis a little if she was so obviously in a bad state (seriously, suggesting she'd make a deal with Wotan?? Major red flag) I don't think she'd put her own words in the mouth of Wally's ghost. [/SPOILER]
There's more too it but that's the gist basically.
