==Use==
Aetherial Manipulation is a Black Mage's primary mobility option, moving the user to a party member's position. It is not a teleport; the user will physically move at a high speed to the target's position. This can result in the user still taking damage if they pass through an enemy's area of effect abilities, and it will cause the user to fall if used to pass over a gap.
Aetherial Manipulation should only be used over long distances; it can have a lengthy animation lock that can result in a loss of DPS if used over shorter distances. When faced with a long distance, the Black Mage can wait for a party member to to a safe location before using Aetherial Manipulation instead of Sprinting themselves, increasing their uptime. If the Black Mage's are active when they use Aetherial Manipulation, they can then use to quickly return to their Ley Lines when it is safe to do so.
Aetherial Manipulation is an instant cast off-global cooldown (oGCD) ability. This allows players to weave it between global cooldowns (GCD) after using instant cast spells such as .
