Aethers are a manifestation of Investiture in the cosmere.[1] Their source is unknown, but they presumably originate on an unrevealed planet.[2][3] A piece of aether is seen on Roshar alongside other Investiture-related artifacts.[4][5]
Mechanics
It is not known how aethers work or what abilities that they grant. Only certain people can activate aethers, and physical pieces of aether are not particularly useful to anyone else.[6]
Properties
Mraize is confirmed to have at least one piece of an aether in his collection of curios on Roshar.[7][5] Shallan Davar describes several of Mraize's trophies; through the process of elimination, it is likely that the aether is an exceptionally delicate pink crystalline substance.[8]
History
Because Mraize is a Worldhopper,[9] the provenance of his aether is unknown. He owns several items related to Investiture on other planets, such as an Aviar from First of the Sun[10] and white sand from Taldain.[6] Some of these items retain magical properties, but the aether does not.[6]

Mraize was surprised by her success and gave her a bonus, mentioning that the stain was "aether". Mem was clearly unfamiliar with the word.[4]
Trivia
- Aethers originated in the unpublished novel Aether of Night. Elements of the novel have already been repurposed into other works,[11] and it would be completely rewritten before the world is introduced to the cosmere.[12] Aethers and their home planet are confirmed to exist, but the details have not been canonized.[13][1][2]
- Aethers are the only "major" magic system that has not yet been used extensively in any cosmere work.[1]
