Aether

Aether is the combination of all four primary elements. Aether is the opposite of time. It is the pillar that holds time together. Aether is commonly known for spatial rings and Status Rings. They create a small contained tear in space. They are also the secret behind transfer points. They tear a hole in space to travel long distances. Aether holds time together like pillars. When a pillar is moved or taken out, it can affect time. Moving it slightly back can reverse time. Moving it forward can accelerate time. Taking it out stops time. Without the pillar there, time collapses. Pillars can be connected to transfer points which can tear time and travel to another transfer point. There are hundreds of quadrillions of pillars. Aether is similar to mana in a way. One can layer and channel it but it is much harder. Only the 10 Great Towermasters know the few things about aether.

Aether magic is also used to forge a mental pact with a mana beast or spirit. One can get a summon crystal or aether crystal to store their mana beast in. This is known as summoning magic.
