== Functioning ==
Each Aether spore is associated with one of the 12 [[aether#Lumar_aethers|Lumaran aethers]]. When exposed to water they immediately transform into the associated aether, this is because of the unstable nature of the Lumaran aethers. The water serves as a catalyst and begins a process where in it draws [[
Aether spores can be killed by silver and salt, turning grey and losing their reactivity when they touch it.{{book ref|tress|1}}{{book ref|tress|10}} The substance they produce upon expanding also grows grey and dies when coming into contact with silver.{{book ref|tress|11}} Dead aether spores will stick to almost anything and can be washed away with soap.{{book ref|tress|16}}
Aether spores at the bottom of the spore seas undergo a certain method of decomposition which contributes to the seethe and the water cycle. The exact details of this decomposition are unknown, and are a source of confusion and curiosity by in-world scholars such as [[Xisis]].{{wob ref|16136}}{{wob ref|16142}}{{wob ref|16131}}

}}
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}} The spines are made of coral, meaning that crimson aether corresponds roughly to the Rosharan Essence of Sinew and the Heliodor Polestone.{{wob ref|16171}} Nothing is known of crimson aetherbound or their associated bud. On the planet [[Lumar]], the local crimson spores rain down from the moon into the [[Crimson Sea]], one of the deadliest of the spore oceans on the planet.{{book ref|tress|5}} When crimson spores are wet and express their aether, the spines of crimson aether are often the bane of ships, forming impenetrable walls of spines or simply tearing ships apart directly.{{book ref|tress|38}} This danger, in addition to the random patterns of the rainlines in the Crimson Sea,{{book ref|tress|35}} makes the area uninhabitable{{book ref|tress|5}} and made it nearly impossible to travel{{book ref|tress|23}} or trade across the sea without additional precautions.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}} Inadvertently inhaling crimson spores can pierce a person's head with spines, killing them instantly.{{book ref|tress|38}}
==== Verdant ====
Verdant aether spores grow into vines after contact with water.{{book ref|tress|1}} The growth rate of expanding Verdant aether is extraordinary, being comparable to lightning.{{book ref|tress|10}} Breathing in these spores is known to often lead to death, as they react with saliva and expand, clogging the throat and sinuses. However, they don't often reach the brain.{{book ref|tress|10}} The vines can be given basic commands when fed water, such as grab but don't destroy.{{book ref|tress|48}}
If the vines are fully grown, they can be eaten if soaked for a day.{{book ref|tress|22}} They don't provide many calories or nutrients, and people can only survive off of them alone for a few weeks.{{book ref|tress|56}}

==== Midnight ====
{{for|Midnight Essence}}
Midnight aether spores create [[Midnight Essence]], draining hydration from the sprouter through a [[Luhel bond]] after initial contact with water.{{book ref|tress|30}}{{book ref|tress|31}} Feeding the bond more water increases the control the human has over the creature.{{book ref|tress|55}} Therefore, under the right circumstances, a person can break another's Luhel bond by offering the Midnight Essence more water than the current host.{{book ref|tress|55}}{{book ref|tress|58}}▼
