The '''Luhel bond''' is a connection typically formed between a human and an [[aether]].{{book ref|
==Mechanics of the Bond==
=== Formation ===
Aethers bond with individuals that are capable of giving them water, although exactly how they choose a person differs between different aethers. The Lumaran Midnight aether bonds with anyone in proximity to their spores and who agrees to give them water, actively searching for beings to bond to.{{book ref|tress|31}}{{book ref|tress|62}} With other Lumaran aethers, they simply choose an individual, forcibly, to be a [[Spore eater]], which differentiates a Luhel bond from the Nahel bond, which requires volition;{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|sa4|115}} the prime aethers choose their aetherbound based on unknown criteria. Aethers could develop symbiotic relationships with animals similar to the ones [[spren]] on [[Roshar]] develop.{{wob ref|16247}}
Once the bond is formed, they are capable of granting water to the aether through an unknown process, and in the case of Lumaran Midnight aether, and the Primal Aethers, this gives a measure of control over them.{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|tress|31}}{{book ref|mb7|42}}
It is not known if this bond has levels of progression like the [[Nahel bond]], but the bond can, at least in specific circumstances, be strengthen through imbibing more water and giving more to the aether.{{book ref|tress|31}}
=== Breaking ===
It is possible to break at least some forms of Luhel bond via a [[silver]] knife.{{book ref|tress|55}} The Lumaran Midnight aether is also able to break its bond to link with a new host.{{book ref|tress|55}}{{book ref|tress|58}}{{book ref|tress|62}}
== Different forms of aether ==
=== Lumaran aether ===
On [[Lumar]], the only known bondable form of spore aether is the Midnight
An additional likely manifestation of the Luhel bond is the [[spore eater]] condition, though whether spore eaters truly utilize the Luhel bond is unknown. Spore eaters are connected directly to a prime aether on one of Lumar's
=== Core
As the Luhel bond is referred to by [[Hoid]] as the manner in which aethers typically function, it is likely integral in the function of the [[aetherbound]].{{book ref|
