<!--Note that the draft version of Aether of Night is not canon, so this article only covers the mention of aether in The Stormlight Archive and associated WoBs-->
'''Aethers''' are a manifestation of [[Investiture]] in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|14031}} Their source is unknown, but they presumably originate on an unrevealed planet.{{wob ref|13971}}{{wob ref|8618}} A piece of aether is seen on [[Roshar]] alongside other Investiture-related artifacts.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}{{wob ref|12314}}
==
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.{{wob ref|9288}}
[[Mem]] is tasked with removing a stain on Mraize's [[Azish]] cavalrylord's suit; its composition is unknown, but she thinks it is a combination of oil and blood. She has a great deal of difficulty removing the stain, but eventually cleans it off without damaging the suit's delicate [[Mycalin]] dye, surprising Mraize and earning her a bonus.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}} He mentions that the stain was "aether", and Mem is clearly unfamiliar with the word.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}} ▼
==Properties==
[[Mraize]] is confirmed to have at least one piece of an aether in his collection of curios on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|12395}}{{wob ref|12314}}
==History==
Because Mraize is a [[Worldhopper]],{{wob ref|1394}} 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]]{{wob ref|8900}} and [[sand mastery|white sand]] from [[Taldain]].{{wob ref|9288}} Some of these items retain magical properties, but the aether does not.{{wob ref|9288}}

==Trivia==
*Aethers originated in the unpublished novel ''[[Aether of Night]]''. Elements of the novel have already been repurposed into other works,{{wob ref|8206}} and it would be completely rewritten before the world is introduced to the cosmere.{{sots ref|2017}} Aethers and their home planet are confirmed to exist, but the details have not been canonized.{{wob ref|12512}}{{wob ref|14031}}{{wob ref|13971}}
*Aethers are the only "major" magic system that has not yet been used extensively in any cosmere work.{{wob ref|14031}}
