=The Aether=
	The aether flows in patterns, a bit like a river and a bit like a wind. Magic disrupts the patterns that aether flows in naturally. The larger the spell, the greater the disruption. As life and magic affect the Aether, so aether affects life and magic in turn. Aether hurricanes can scour life from a planet, aether eddies can cause unbounded fertility and growth. An unexpected aether wind can destroy a spell, or multiply it's effects many times over. Magic draws upon the aether, and in turn creates it's own weather.

	Ships follow the Aether winds, and chart its gusts, eddies and currents as any good sailor would. Pirates also use this knowledge to predict the paths of ships and lay in wait along particularly favorable Aether gusts , stealing the wind from the merchant ships, swooping in and plundering, then gone again into the night, traveling on (they hope) hidden aether winds of their own to hidden asteroid bases and backwater planets.
