Overexposure of aspected aether causes profound mutations in living beings. Monsters in aether-abundant areas are more threatening. Places where it gathers most are typically vivid, particularly in the Black Shroud, which is so rich in aether that the sentient, elementally aspected aether-beings known as Elementals reign over the wood, alongside the cooperative Gridanians.Īether is considered dangerous in high concentrations, and often makes the afflicted more aggressive, if not completely mad. This generally augments the creature (human or otherwise) physically, and those unaccustomed to channeling the new energy may go mad.Īether flows nigh imperceptibly throughout the planet. When a living entity arrives on the scene of a battle, no matter how ancient, the excess aether will enter this new host and expand its native aether. As aether is akin to soul energy, more violent and dramatic deaths tend to yield more excess aether. Only so much of it can cross over at a time, and any excess remains to form a glowing mist, crystals, or even ghostly apparitions.
It also comes in three forms: memories and souls which are interconnected, corporeal aether like the aetheryte, and forms of nourishment that are in constant flux.Īether is released from the body upon death and it disappears from the physical realm to mingle back into the aetherical sea from which all life begins.
Aether can be aspected into six elements-ice, water, wind, lightning, fire, and earth-and drawn towards two polarities: Astral, the active, and Umbral, the passive.
