Aetherial Implements

Unlock the secrets of Aetherial Implements in Dreams of Aether. Learn about Aether properties, encoding, grades, and how to harness this primordial energy for ultimate power.

Aetherial Implements are a core mechanic in Dreams of Aether, allowing players to harness and manipulate the primordial energy known as Dream Aether. This guide will break down its properties, how to encode it, the different grades of encoding, and provide examples of its application.

Properties of Dream Aether:

• Aether is attracted to itself.
• Aether spun centrifugally moves inward.
• Atmospherically absorbed Aether is instantly replenished and retains its density.
• Dream Aether is the primordial energy at the origin of the Universe, considered infinite.
• Higher Aether density increases the probability of energy and matter generation, potentially leading to new Universes or Seed Worlds.
• Aether density increases due to self-attraction and brain activity (thoughts and dreams).

Encoding Dream Aether:

• Encoding is an ability of the Oracle Bracelet that transforms Dream Aether into energy to enhance a person's attributes (Strength, Agility, Constitution, Vitality, Intelligence, Perception).
• The cost to encode varies by volume; volumes above 3 cubic meters double the price, and above 6 cubic meters triple it.
• Each body has an Aether capacity limit, comparable to a bottle filling with liquid. Exceeding this limit is dangerous.

Grades of Encoding:

• High-quality encoding condenses Aether, reducing its space requirement. Grade 1 is like gas, Grade 2 like liquid, and Grade 3 like solid.
• Each additional grade allows the body to hold 10 times more Aether and include more functions, akin to Aether Skills.
• The Oracle offers 7 Grade 1 primary Encodings for free. Higher grades and additional functions must be purchased from the Oracle Store (e.g., Grade 2 Strength Encoding costs 1,000 credits).
• Max Attributes: Grade 1 (100), Grade 2 (1,000), Grade 3 (10,000?).

Examples of Encoding:

• Colors are assigned to different energies for simplicity: Red (Strength), Orange (Agility), Yellow (Constitution), Green (Vitality), Cyan (Intelligence), and Indigo (Perception).
• The Oracle device uses varying amounts of Aether for each energy type (e.g., one point of Aether for one point of Strength, two for Agility).
