The user can create, shape and manipulate [[wikipedia:Aether_(classical_element)|Aether]], a powerful and unique celestial element said to flow throughout the universe and existence, and also binds the four classical elements: [[Water Manipulation|water]], [[Fire Manipulation|fire]], [[Earth Manipulation|earth]], and [[Air Manipulation|air]] together. Commonly recognized as the essence breathed by gods in the same way humans breathe air, Aether is a power and force that allows control over elemental, cosmic, spiritual, transcendental and primordial forces. Regarded as [https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_Force_Manipulation divine power], users that can control Aether are considered god-like, essentially becoming virtually invincible.
User can create, shape and manipulate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element) Aether], a powerful and unique "''Celestial Element''" that flows through the Universe. There have been many claims/theories made by alchemists, natural philosophers, and very early modern physicists that confirm Aether's power. One claim is that it was the pure essence that the Mythological Gods lived and breathed in the same way humans did with air. Another claim is that Aether is the force used by God himself to create the Universe. Another reference would be the Hermeticist book "Kybalion" that not only explain its nature but the plane it comes from. As mentioned in the Astrology page, Aether is from the "Ethereal Plane", a Physical Plane that exists between the ones of both matter and energy. However, although it can partake in the nature of either substances, Aether is neither of these things.
 
 
Despite its title as "Life-Force", Aether encompasses more than the essence of living things. Users of this power will realize that Aether exists in Elemental, Cosmic, and Spiritual forces. This is also proven by the Kybalion's entries. According to the texts, there are at least three levels of both matter and energy each with Aether at the middle. The first level of matter comprises the common forms of matter like solid/liquids/gases. The second level consists of matter that is more high level, and subtle. The third level is comprised of the most subtle, and tenuous forms of matter that scientists don't even know about. Concerning energy, the first level consists of the common forms such as heat and light. The second level consists of "Nature's Finer Forces", higher forms of energy that is undiscovered by scientists. The third level consists of energy that is unrecognizable by human beings, and available only to beings of the Spiritual Plane. This form of energy can be considered as "the divine power" with the users considered "gods".
 
 
With this stated, each level of matter/energy refers to the one of the three mentioned forces. The first level means the elemental forces because the text refers to common forms. The second level means cosmic forces as they are referring to higher forms of matter/energy. The third level refers to spiritual/divine forces because the text referred to forms of matter/energy that is unrecognizable by mortal men and only available to transcendent life-forms. This is supported by the fact that spirits are believed to be ethereal beings that are basically made of Aether. Needless to say, users of this power will be extremely powerful, and essentially invincible.
