This is part 2 on my series of explaining Aether and what it can do for you! I hope y’all are enjoying this as I try to bring light onto things that aren’t clearly explained in things like the MSQ. Hope you have a great week!

Looking forward to the next lesson!
A very succinct and informative lesson from a talented and hard working Scribe.
I’ve always loved your ability to explain things in such an in character fashion. It really feels like sitting in on a lecture at The Studium.
"Mayhaps the chart is flawed and will needs be updated someday."
Literally describes real life science. As Richard Feynman so elegantly puts it, "If it disagrees with experiment… it's wrong! In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't make a difference how beautiful your guess is. It doesn't make a difference how smart you are who made the guess. Or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment… it's wrong."
I suppose I will need to listen to the next lesson for the full answer, but would a spell like Flash be using Unaspected Light aether? Or, for more updated versions of the game… Holy Circle / etc?
Hi scribe hope you are having a wonderful day.
I have one question regarding what you explain in the video.
Does aether works like the energy and respect things like a conservation law? Or it its consumed as a price to fuel spells and disappears forever.
For me makes sense that aether just changes its state and position.
If I throw a fireball from A to B
A will get colder (or I will get tired), and B will receive the impact of the fireball releasing heat.
But then I find inconsistencies like the existence of the burn or alexander fear of own existence would inevitably bleed the land dry of aether.
Does primals works by other rules or I am missing something?
Thanks in advance for all your work and be seeing ya in your next video
Another great lecture!
Thank you, for explaining the concepts and stories of our wonderful world!

Aether is one of the most fascinating concepts in FFXIV because it's loosely based on our real-world ideas of matter and energy but woven together in a very fantastical way. I also find it interesting that despite all the new functional information the Scions have obtained through their endeavors on the First, they apparently never bothered to write any of it down or share it with other intellectuals to the point where the Sharlayans had to sneak in getting them to share their knowledge of other reflections as a condition for allowing them in to the restricted section of the library.
I wonder if the people of merycidia have a completely different view on how eather works
I love love love how almost everything we can do is connected to aether manipulation in some way. For example, every melee dps has some sort of aether-channeling ability, even though they’re all physical jobs. Monk controls the flow of aether through their body, dragoon channels the magic of Nidhogg and the first brood, ninja and samurai technically cast spells with their justsu techniques, and reaper uses their avatar to channel void magicks.
I can’t wait for the next lecture on the different schools of spells!!
Mmmm. How would magic shields be 'classed' on the chart? Unlikely to be any of the pure elements. Umbral charge is almost a certainty, so maybe Umbral Lightning and Umbral Earth? Healing effects are bound to be more Astral. Biggest problem of the Magic Chart is the difficulty in placing anything that's not obviously related to an element.
I love how immersive these videos are. They way you refer to "our world" makes it really feel like I'm taking a course on magic manipulation.
In the next video can you speak in an old fantasy medieval accent? Lol
7:07 (gasp) a bass guitar, that will be my focus.
Sydonic is like my new Byf since I left destiny for xiv and its great to find another super talented lore daddy!
aww yeah!
I've been using your videos to improve my FFXIV roleplay, thank you for these
Instead of unnatural, I believe a better term would be artificial. There isn't as much of a negative connotation associated with it, and at least in the world of Eorzea, artificiality isn't inherently negative.
