Aether
A form of radiate energy that bleeds out from the aether heavy higher plane of Other-world into the physical world via the ley lines. When interacting with physical matter it can greatly bend existing matter and the laws of physics in was that shouldn't be possible. Aether surprisingly can be absorbed by solid matter, which is how aether clumps tend to form most often, though it is worth noting that aether is absorbed more efficiently and easily when the solid matter is organic or alive. When utilize by individuals and tapped into through their soul they can manipulate their surroundings to become whatever their hearts desire.
Properties
Physical & Chemical Properties
Aether can take on two forms that can be found and used differently:
- Wild Aether, which is aether that exist everywhere all throughout the natural world and metaphysical. In this form it is rather harmless when left to its own devices, but when in large clumps it can respond rather violently and rip apart those who lack the physical, mental, and spiritual strength. It is generally relied on to perform magic in order to manipulate matter in order to bring about the users desire.
- Concentrated Aether, aether that lies within objects and can at times becomes sentient with age when it becomes an individual soul. Generally used by particular individuals to use senjutsu as they run this concentrated aether through their body. Also unlike wild aether it isn't volatile when interacting with others, though this can be changed if the consciousness says otherwise or if theres more aether than the body can handle.
Compounds
Aethereal constructs like the technique aether wings.
Geology & Geography
Aether can be found being emmited out of ley lines which mostly appear to attach to points of space with immense gravity such as orbiting satellites, planets, and stars.
Origin & Source
Normally be found leaking out from the tears of reality refereed to as leylines.
History & Usage
History
Magi speculate that aether might just be energy that comes directly from the "father's" mind and soul, as an explanation on how it is capable of bending the laws of physics. Some also like to consider aether to be his blood, while comparing ley line to be the veins that travel his body which is the multiverse, but not everyone agrees with this analogy.
Everyday use
Normally used by Magi, those who can manipulate resident wild aether near by use it to perform magic to help them in a given situation, while beings like Deities and Celestials are purely made out of it and in a way can just use their own being to perform such task.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Well those who practice in the arcane arts over the centuries and in any culture, rely on aether to help perform magic.
Environmental Impact
A large concentration of can at best become souls when left alone, but at worst it can alter the enviroment due to their ability to distort matter.
