Environmental Interactions

Master the 'Environmental Interactions' guide for Dreams of Aether. Learn about Aether properties, encoding, and how to harness primordial energy for survival and growth.

This guide section focuses on understanding and interacting with the environment within Dreams of Aether. It covers the fundamental properties of Aether, how it can be encoded, and its role in the game's mechanics.

Key Concepts:

• Aether Properties: Learn about Aether's attraction to itself, its movement patterns, and how atmospheric Aether is replenished.
• Aether Absorption: Discover how Aether is absorbed from the atmosphere and from dead bodies, and the dangers of uncompressed Aether.
• Encoding: Understand the process of encoding Dream Aether into usable energy to enhance character attributes like Strength, Agility, Constitution, Vitality, Intelligence, and Perception.
• Aether Capacity and Limits: Learn how a character's body can store Aether, the concept of saturation, and the 100-point limit for human beings.
• Encoding Grades: Explore the different grades of Encoding (Grade 1, 2, 3) and how higher grades allow for more condensed Aether, increased capacity, and additional passive properties, with associated costs.
• Aether Costs: Understand how the volume of a target affects the cost of Encoding, with specific examples for different sizes and the price of higher-grade Encodings.
• Aether Colors: Note the assigned colors for different Aether energies (Red for Strength, Orange for Agility, etc.) used by the Oracle device.
