On [[Lumar]], the only known bondable form of spore aether is the Midnight Aether, also known as [[Midnight Essence]].{{book ref|Tress|31}} 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.{{book ref|Tress|31}} The amount of water drained is proportional to the amount of direct control the human has over the essence creature.{{book ref|Tress|58}} Uniquely, the bond between some who form a Luhel bond with Midnight Essence is visible in the form of black lines, and the connection can be severed using a silver knife.{{book ref|Tress|55}}
 
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 moonmoons, and exchange a large and eventually fatal amount of water for protection by the prime aether.{{book ref|Tress|28}} This protection is granted through the related substance protecting the spore eater from any force that would break their skin.{{book ref|Tress|41}} Due to the seeming inability for the spore eater to manipulate these substances for any other purpose, it is likely driven by the spore eater's prime aether more directly.
