<!--Note that the draft version of Aether of Night is not canon, so this article only covers the mention of aether in The Stormlight Archive, Mistborn Era 2, and associated WoBs-->
'''Aethers''' are a manifestation of [[Investiture]] in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|14031}} Their source is unknown, but they presumably originate on an unrevealed planet.{{wob ref|13971}}{{wob ref|8618}} People who use aethers are called '''aetherbound'''.{{book ref|mb7|42}} The aethers consider themselves to predate [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|15878}}
==Mechanics==
It is not known how aethers work or what abilities that they grant. There are supposedly many types of aether.{{wob ref|14429}} Only certain people can activate aethers, and physical pieces of aether are not particularly useful to anyone else.{{wob ref|9288}} Even cosmere scholars such as those in [[Silverlight]] do not yet understand how to control them.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
===Roseite===
Roseite can be used to make constructs. On planets without certain fields of investiture, the aetherbound must remain in contact with the constructs; if contact is broken, the constructs crumble to a fine powder, and then vanish. Creating constructs drains water from the aetherbound. An aetherbound must understand an object to create it; creating a gun would require knowledge of its mechanisms. A pen made of roseite requires separate ink.{{book ref|mb7|39}}{{book ref|mb7|42}}
