Grundstudium: Ätherologie/Quellen

* Mikoto: “Simpler... Right... Um... Aether is not only the building block of all things material, but those immaterial as well. Thoughts, memories, feelings, one's very will are all understood to be aetherial phenomena, and can be measured as such.”
* Beq Lugg: “Their bodies will naturally return to equilibrium given time... But this holds true only for their corporeal aether. Their incorporeal aether─that of the soul─is not so easily mended.”
* Mikoto: “Every living being is comprised of corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of their memories. Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. In either case, they may also retain some of their residual memories. Of course, a ghost that possesses residual memories could likely recall its past and retain self-awareness.”
* Lalah Jinjahl: “There's a limit to the amount of corporeal aether a living being can harbor. As we grow up, it waxes; as we grow old, it wanes. A gradual, gentle process, if allowed to function in the natural fashion...”
* Severian: “Now, each [person]’s aether has a unique color. When drawing geometries with enchanted ink, this hue is passed to the pages of a grimoire. There has never been a way to detect the shade of this aetherial signature. Until now, that is. I have a powder that renders this color visible to the naked eye. If my aether is purple, then sprinkling the dust over a grimoire I made will reveal the same shade of purple. I call it spectrolium...”
* Hythlodaeus: “The color of your souls tells the tale. A hue that distinctive cannot be mistaken, no matter how thin the soul is spread.”
* Glaube der Dotharl an Wiedergeburt
* Nicia (NPC-Dialog): “When we die, it is believed that the shock separates our spirits from our corporeal forms. Our bodies are then broken down and are absorbed back into the aetherial river, while the soul is left to journey to its final destination in the afterlife. Some call this ‘returning to the lifestream.’”
* Nicia (NPC-Dialog): “Before one might understand aetherial travel, one must first understand the substance that makes it possible - aether. What is aether you ask? Why, only the source of all being! Though it cannot be seen, it is everywhere… or should I say, it is everything. Aether flows around us and within us, and without it we would cease to exist.”
* Quest "Reise in das Herz" (St.80) Thancred: “I can’t get this bloody thing lit! It must be because the aether has stopped flowing...”

* Erik: “As I laboriously explained, aether is not only the source of all magicks, but also the fount of all life. Yet despite its ubiquity, it remains imperceptible to the senses of man. When a living thing dies, the aether comprising its life is released. It has been learned that when this discharge takes place, a portion of that aether remains, lingering in the physical world. No doubt you have come across aetherial crystallizations in the course of your travels. All scholars now agree that these are the physical manifestations of great concentrations of aether.
* Alisaie: “For the most part, living things are composed of aether of various different aspects. But when exposed to such a flood, their aetheric harmony is shattered, and their natural form breaks down. Then they either perish...or are warped into mindless abominations.”
