The '''primal aethers''' are a group of twelve sapient aethers that exist on
[[Suna]] and [[Vishwadhar]] may be two other primal aethers, they are referenced along with Silajana by TwinSoul.{{book ref|mb7|51}}
They are known to be
=== Silajana ===
'''[[Silajana]]''' is the roseite primal aether, bonded to [[Prasanva]] among others.{{book ref|mb7|42}} Little is known of Silajana, although he was supportive of the [[Ghostbloods]] and their work done on Scadrial countering [[Trell]].{{book ref|mb7|40}} He has sent Prasanva into exile, away from
== Aetherbound ==
'''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
The manipulation of aethers by the aetherbound is mostly constrained by the size of the aether and their ability to visualize clearly what they want to produce. It takes skill and talent to produce complex mechanisms, such as producing a functional gun out of roseite.{{book ref|mb7|42}}
=== Zephyr ===
The zephyr aether can be used as
=== Spores ===

The dark aether is some sort of threat present on
== Lumar aethers ==
Aethers on Lumar are an especially parasitic strain focused on self-propagation through compressed [[aether spores]].{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|tress|31}} Compared to normal aethers, these bond with their hosts far more aggressively.{{wob ref|16254}}
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 steel and attracted by iron.{{book ref|tress|26}}
* The planet where aethers originate is not central to the overall cosmere arc.{{wob ref|14520}} Brandon has not decided how many aether novels he will write or where to fit them into the cosmere release timeline. He has considered doing a trilogy towards the end of the cosmere sequence.{{sots ref|2019}}
* They are going to be relevant to Space-Age Cosmere.{{wob ref|14429}}{{wob ref|14457}}
* Aethers could develop symbiotic relationships with animals similar to the ones [[spren]] on [[Roshar]] develop.{{wob ref|16247}}
