==== Bone spores ====
Bone spores are a rumored thirteenth variety of aether spores on Lumar. The stories are unclear whether they are [[Sand (Taldain)|black, or white in coloration, or potentially both]]. Some consider bone spores to be a fanciful legend.{{book ref|tress|23}}
== Technology ==
Various forms of technology make use of aether spores.
=== Cannonballs ===
Some cannonballs make use of aetheric internal mechanism in order to increase their usefulness in naval combat on the Aether seas.{{book ref|tress|37}}
In the center of the cannonball is a sphere made out of roseite aether containing water, it is insulated from the water with wax, and therefore does not react with it. This sphere is surrounded by a charge of zephyr spores.{{book ref|tress|37}}
In another part of the device is a small glass container of water adjacent to a clipping of verdant aether. This glass container shatters upon launch, soaking the clipping and causing it to expand down a short tube leading to the central mechanism. This pushes a silver-tipped plug towards said mechanism, and kills the roseite, leading to the water it contained to be released, reacting with the zephyr and causing a large explosion dousing the target with water and shrapnel.{{book ref|tress|37}}
