  1. Hey everyone! This was a bit of an experiment. The first time I'm pooling data from more than a dozen sources to create a more reliable source of data. If you like this video, or if this video does well, I'll expand on this and create videos that explain things like the different spell schools and applications of magic. There are many things that people can do that you don't see because of things like job limitations, and I wanted to give these things some exposure. Hope you enjoy!

  2. Not sure there's any evidence pureblooded garleans have used aetheric enhancement. They are described as have no ability to tap into it on and conscious level; that their strength and resilience is just physically innate. If that's wrong, I'd love to know where it is learned of. Interested in expanding upon garlean Roleplay.

    Your videos are always fun And I do hope you do stuff on the mind and soul aether.

  3. I think this method works well.

    And while the pieces do start to resemble a picture, it's no secret there is still quite a lot we don't know.
    The Soul Crystals may be indispensable tools for the Job they contain, and even now the modern Guilds on Etheirys, that we have knowledge, of have lost more knowledge than can be imagined.
    Makes you think about all the effort and experimentation growing your skill. Work hard, study harder. Refine your control over your personal Aether and the Aether around you. Decades spent mastering skills and techniques worthy of recognition for their efficiency and control. Only to have some pup 20 summers old blast a hole in a wall with a messy, sloppy fireball that they learned from a Soul Crystal, wasting 3 times the ambient Aether for only twice the flash. Or the careful precision of an Archers' arrow landing dead centre 5 times in a row, compared to a barrage of imbued bolts of energy that hit maybe 3 out of 5 shots.

    Though I suppose I'm answering my own question when you take into account that even with Soul Crystals, you still have to Train and Practice and improve on your own. And a solid foundation is indispensable when it comes to internal and external control.

    Though again, this mainly applies to Adventurers and those who have need of such intense control over their personal Aether and are fortunate enough to find a Soul Crystal to bond to. If you look at many average soldiers and guards, they don't usually have access to anything fancy like that, getting by with hard work and training in the basic classes. Pugilist, Gladiator, Marauder, etc. They all work hard and train hard to understand their body's internal Aether, and improve their control as best they can, without anything fancy giving them hints.

    wow this got wordy… my apologies. Must still be in Essay mode.

  4. As a monk I know that unlocking the 14th chakra should be the pinnacle but I believe that I could go even further beyond. Borrowing your analogy from turning a river into a raging ocean from turning a raging ocean into something a kin to a violent tsunami. How to go about it I’m not sure possibly learn how to out put even more aether than ever before but seeing as I had already unlocked the 14th chakra, previously seen as impossible, I think it very much doable. Almost like seeing how far and how much aether I can output
