Aethers on Lumar are an especially parasitic strain focused on self-propagation through compressed Aether spores.{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|tress|31}}
They are especially unstable, with the smallest hint of water (or blood){{book ref|tress|12}} leading to uncontrolled expansion as it pulls Investiture from the Spiritual Realm, {{book ref|tress|28}} this expansion is very rapid, comparable to lightning.{{book ref|tress|10}} Despite expanding even more when put into contact with more water, they do have a maximum extent to which they are able to grow. When they reach this maximum growth potential, they stop reacting with water and (in the case of Verdant Aether) can be safely eaten.{{book ref|tress|37}} The direction of this expansion can be changed by various factors, such as the cognitive phenomena surrounding it, shaped by thoughts and commands.{{book ref|tress|44}} It is also pushed away by
There are large Prime Aethers that live on the moons, and propagate themselves through creating their spores and sending them down to Lumar. Due to requiring water to survive, which doesn't exist on any of the moons, they choose people as '''Spore Eaters''', who they progressively drain water from, eventually leading to death.{{book ref|tress|28}} They are protected by the Aether that they are made to gestate, which actively tries to prevent the death of its host.{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|tress|27}} The method in which the water is transferred to the respective Prime Aether is not known.{{book ref|tress|28}}
