This is part 3 on my series of explaining aether and all the variety of things it’s capable of! I’ve have fun putting these videos together because there’s so much lore to cover! People horribly underestimate aether since they don’t look beyond their job abilities, but I hope these videos will make players begin to appreciate this power system.

Wow good Vid…..Keep em coming Buddy
Hm… will Dark magic be on the test ?
I will comment on the content when I’m finished but I just have to say the art for these videos is so good
Loving each video as always!
Yes! Nearly 20 minutes of Synodic Scribe talking about aetherology and magical schools. what a treat for just getting out of work 🙂
YES! I was waiting for this one!!
The ending there really opens the gates for people to wonder what their characters could do (and I hope we get Geomancer soon)
Another great video professor, and the art is as amazing as ever.
I'm just glad FF11's "Brown Mage" isn't found anywhere on Eorzea.
hey there! first off, amazing video on the schools of magic and your videos on FFXIV lore in general, but i have a question.
since sage’s weapons work through channeling aether into their nouliths, do you think the same principle can be applied to conventional, larger weapons (such as a dark knight’s claymore) and still work?
Personally, I'd love to have access to time magic. Even if it ends up being primarily support
I hope blue magic will grow more and will be used more, and I'm also curious if maybe one day we will be able to go to the land where it was created… (Pretty sure we won't but a man can dream eheh)
Surprised that you didn’t mention a machinist using the aether pack on their side to manipulate their own aether into bullets, although I guess that’s using an outside tool instead of learning to use your own aether.
So…what is Esuna? According to the Scholar quest which teaches you about it, it does everything from curing a cold to fixing PTSD
Good stuff as always!
I’d love to know how niche schools like Sorceress and Academician!
I imagine the latter is applying sage techniques to Archanist methods, considering that the scholar arts were lost until somewhere between the 7th umbral and astral eras. The former is probably a branching school of thaumaturgy utilizing the more commonly rediscovered tools of Black Magic. Who knows what esoteric knowledge only Matoya and associates are still privy to!
Also is it still magic if a technology or machine uses Aether to produce magnificent effects like floating screens? Or manifesting what are normally considered arcane objects and entities? Or is this the line where technology crosses over to magitek?
Do summoners use ambient aether as well? or do they stick to their own? What would happen if they did use ambient aether?
Keep up the great work :D, always an engaging watch!
I wonder how the healing arts of Eitheris would progress with accompaniment with our modern medical knowledge. Would the Sage arts be more effective?
Speaking of Nymian Scholary, I heard they're starting to come back after some curse they were under got lifted. Think it'd be a good idea to try and bring the art back here? Maybe we can get one to give a lecture sometime…
I never get tired of these videos. I have the books, but something so soothing about your explanations and I love how in depth FF14 goes to explain these things.
Low key one of my favorite parts of Endwalker and the patch content has been voiced characters teaching different topics to the WoL and your videos do a great job recreating that feeling, especially with the music backing you up. It's a treat.
I'm still calling hog wash on Blue Magic. Just some flime flam show going on in knock off Coliseum. Why if blue mages where a thing I'd have seen them by now on the front lines.
Now that running joke I have with my friends about it is a shame blue mage is limited, great vid one I'll share to people that ask how come my white magic couldn't save someone
Truth be told, I wouldn’t be surprised if something akin to a “Time Battlemage” job popped up at some point in the future.
(Mostly because Time Mage is a class in several FF titles, and there is a fourth slot of Magic DPS just waiting to be filled)
