Thancred: I'll do my best, then. Thancred: Aether is the essential energy that flows through everything. It exists both in life and in all ambient functions of the world itself, from the soil to the weather. While raw unaspected aether exists in abundance, most is aspected in some way according to six elements and two phases. When aether flows naturaly, the world is stable and healthy. When the flow is stalled, the land becomes barren and all life is forfeit. When it is warped the land warps with it, and too much aether in one place is poisonous. Thancred: "Magic" falls under a number of different disciplines, but all are the deliberate manipulation of aether. While the personal aether of a talented individual is enough to fuel most mundane use, depending on discipline and scale of spell one might use the aether of the world around you in different ways. Thancred: Have I made sense to you thus far?
