Aethers are an ancient variety of [[Investiture|Invested]] entities present in the [[cosmere]].{{book ref|mb7|39}} They originate on an unrevealed planet where the twelve primal aethers reside, although the aethers have since spread to other worlds of the cosmere.{{book ref|tlm|51}}{{wob ref|15136}} Those who are [[Luhel bond|bonded]] to one of the twelve primal aethers and are able to manifest that aether are known as '''aetherbound'''.{{book ref|mb7|40}}{{book ref|mb7|42}} Aethers have existed since prior to the Shattering of Adonalsium, and some believe that they predate Adonalsium itself or are totally independent from its creations.{{book ref|mb7|42}}{{wob ref|15933}}
All forms of aether seem to 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}}

'''Aetherbound''' are the Invested servants of the primal aethers. They are Connected to one of the twelve aethers and granted a bud of that aether’s core. The bud at least sometimes appears as a physical change to the body of the person that corresponds with the aether they have [[Luhel bond|bonded]].{{book ref|mb7|42}} Unlike other bonds like between spren and Radiant, each aetherbound is not Connected to their own individual aether.{{wob ref|15429}} Instead they are all bound to the same primal aether; for instance all roseite aetherbound have a bud from Silajana.{{book ref|mb7|42}}
An aetherbound can grow and manipulate that same type of aether from their bodies.{{book ref|mb7|39}} They are capable of controlling the size, shape, and behavior of the aethers they produce, within certain constraints.{{book ref|mb7|39}} This process requires water drawn from the aetherbound's body to facilitate the growth of the aether.{{book ref|mb7|42}} The larger the mass, the more water will be required.{{book ref|mb7|51}} This seems to be connected to the manner in which Aether spores violently expand upon interaction with water.{{book ref|tress|1}}{{book ref|tress|10}}
