Scarred Aetherial Arts

Unlock the secrets of Scarred Aetherial Arts in Dreams of Aether. Learn about Aether properties, encoding, grades, and how to harness this primordial energy.

This guide covers the Scarred Aetherial Arts in Dreams of Aether. We will delve into the fundamental properties of Aether, the process of encoding it for use, the different grades of encoding available, and provide examples of how Aether is utilized.

Properties of Aether:

• Aether is attracted to itself.
• Aether spun centrifugally moves inward.
• Atmospheric Aether is instantly replenished and retains its density.

According to Novice Aether Manipulation:

Dream Aether is the primordial energy of the Universe, considered infinite. It is the source of energy and matter. Higher Aether density increases the probability of energy and matter generation, leading to the birth of new Universes. Aether density and entropy always increase due to self-renewal, self-attraction, and attraction to brain activity (thoughts and dreams). Solidified Souls may act as mini Aether sources.

Encoding:

Dream Aether must be encoded to be used. The Oracle Bracelet's 'Encode' ability transforms Aether into energy to enhance attributes like Strength, Agility, Constitution, Vitality, Intelligence, and Perception. The cost to encode varies with volume; above 3 cubic meters, the price doubles, and above 6 cubic meters, it triples. Each body has an Aether capacity limit, comparable to a bottle filling with liquid.

Encoding Grades:

• Grade 1: Comparable to gas, max attribute 100.
• Grade 2: Comparable to liquid, max attribute 1,000. Requires 1,000 credits for Strength Encoding at the Oracle Store.
• Grade 3: Comparable to solid, max attribute 10,000?

High-quality encoding condenses Aether, allowing the body to hold more. Each grade allows for 10 times more Aether capacity and the inclusion of passive properties similar to Aether Skills. The Oracle offers 7 Grade 1 primary Encodings for free; further grades and functions cost credits.

Examples of Encoding:

Colors are assigned for simplicity: Red for Strength, orange for Agility, yellow for Constitution, green for Vitality, cyan for Intelligence, and indigo for Perception. The Oracle device uses more Aether for each energy type based on color; one point of Aether for one point of Strength, two for Agility, etc.
