Crimson aether takes the form of bright red spines or spears that are sharp as a needle and can be deadly on contact.{{book ref|tress|35}} It is uncertain what primal element crimson aether represents, although the spines are composed of a firm material that makes a clacking sound when crimson aether bumps together.{{book ref|tress|38}} Nothing is known of crimson aetherbound or their associated bud. On the planet[[Lumar]], crimson spores rain down from the moon into the [[Crimson Sea]], one of the deadliest of the spore oceans on the planet.{{book ref|tress|5}} When crimson spores are wet and express their aether, the spines of crimson aether are often the bane of ships, forming impenetrable walls of spines or simply tearing ships apart directly.{{book ref|tress|38}} This danger, in addition to the random patterns of the rainlines in the Crimson Sea,{{book ref|tress|35}} makes the area uninhabitable{{book ref|tress|5}} and made it nearly impossible to travel{{book ref|tress|23}} or trade across the sea without additional precautions.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}} Inadvertently inhaling crimson spores can pierce a person's head with spines, killing them instantly.{{book ref|tress|38}}
