“ I assume you have no idea what a Luhel bond is. Don't feel bad. ”
The Luhel Bond is a connection typically formed between a human and an aether.[1] While it can be symbiotic or parasitic, it is defined by the person giving up physical matter, typically water, in exchange for the ability to manipulate the bonded aether.[1][2]
Different forms of aether
Lumaran aether
On Lumar, the only known bondable form of spore aether is the Midnight Aether, also known as Midnight Essence.[1] After forming a Luhel bond with Midnight Essence, the human begins to feel an overwhelming thirst as water is extracted from their body, and in return gains control over the creature formed from the Midnight Essence.[1] The amount of water drained is proportional to the amount of direct control the human has over the essence creature.[3]
An additional manifestation of the Luhel bond is the Spore Eater condition. Spore Eaters are connected directly to the prime verdant aether on Lumar's Verdant Moon, and exchange a large and eventually fatal amount of water for protection by the prime aether.[4] This protection is granted through verdant aether vines protecting the Spore Eater from any force that would break their skin.[5] Due to the seeming inability for the Spore Eater to manipulate these vines for any other purpose, it is likely the primal aether's Intent is fueling the aether's physical manifestation. It can be assumed that this method of water collection is used by the other Lumaran primal aethers.
Core Aethers
As the Luhel Bond is reffered to by Hoid as the manner in which aethers typically function, it can be assumed that the Luhel Bond is integral in the function of the aetherbound.[1] Indeed, known aetherbound are shown to exchange water with their bonded primal aether for the manipulation of aether.[6] Additionally, there is some form of psychic communication available between aetherbound and their bonded primal aether through the Luhel bond.[7]
