|Hoid on crimson aether{{book ref|tress|38}}
}}
Crimson aether takes the form of bright red spines or spears that are sharp as a needle and can be deadly on contact.{{book ref|tress|35}}
==== Zephyr ====
==== Roseite ====
Roseite aether spores produce crystals when they interact with water, which makes them useful to sprouters, who use them to seal holes in hulls.{{book ref|tress|10}}
Among the aethers, roseite is particularly good at resisting silver.{{book ref|tress|17}}{{book ref|tress|26}} It has also been shown to be repelled by [[steel]], and attracted by [[iron]], this likely applies to all aethers.{{book ref|tress|26}}
==== Bone spores ====
Bone spores are a rumored thirteenth variety of aether spores on Lumar. The stories are unclear whether they are [[Sand (Taldain)|black, or white in coloration, or potentially both]]. Some consider bone spores to be a fanciful legend.{{book ref|tress|23}}
== Technology ==
Various forms of technology make use of aether spores.
=== Cannonballs ===
Some cannonballs made use of aetheric internal mechanism in order to increase their usefulness in naval combat on the Aether seas.{{book ref|tress|37}}
In the center of the cannonball was a sphere made out of roseite aether containing water, which was insulated from the water with wax, and therefore did not react with it. This sphere was surrounded by a charge of zephyr spores.{{book ref|tress|37}}
In another part of the device was a small glass container of water adjacent to a clipping of verdant aether. This glass container shattered upon launch, soaking the clipping, thus causing it to expand down a short tube leading to the central mechanism. This pushed a silver-tipped plug towards the roseite sphere, and killed the roseite, leading to the release of the contained water, which reacted with the zephyr and caused a large explosion dousing the target with water and shrapnel.{{book ref|tress|37}}
