[Cardinal simply hums. It's difficult not to think of Bridger and Bridger's powers when considering the question of aether.]

I want to show it to you, one day.

[Would it burn brighter in their own world? Cardinal drops that thought and obeys the instruction, closing their eyes. They sense the there-ness of it. A difference in the air.]

Movement.

What are Umbral and Astral?

[firstworldproblem]

I do wish to see it.

[He smiles at the answer.]

I would be surprised if you were not mostly aligned with wind or water.

Astral is growth and movement. Umbral is patience and stasis. Perhaps you can think of them like the waning and waxing of the moon. Either in motion or still.

[deicider]

You can effect those, too...?

[They sound highly intrigued. ]

[firstworldproblem]

Not as much as the six elements, but in a way yes. Think of Light for example. In motion it can be a flood, but still it can all but wash way one's personality.

Ever tipping the balance was our great work. A truly delicate thing. I don't believe the shards ever appreciated it.

[He's jesting mostly at that last part.]

[deicider]

[They shoot him an amused look.]

I'm not familiar with the personality-stripping properties of Light.

[firstworldproblem]

Having one's aether drastically out of balance is quite deadly, pulling it out of that natural state.

We are straying from the topic at hand, but I'm sure you've marveled at how delicate life seems.

[deicider]

Delicate at times.
