[He listens with some interest and considers the similarities and differences.]
I heard something similar—to train one's body to better channel the energy in a way to not so adversely harm it.
And it does sound the way your aether works is similar to our own. In general, magic users of my world will harness the aether of the elements they are attuned to and draws directly from the aether around them. If there's no aether around them, then they can't use magic.
As a Dominant, because we also serve as vessels for our Eikons, we can also draw upon the aether within our bodies. That's another reason why we're stronger and can last longer than other people who wield magic. However, we still find it difficult to channel aether in areas that have been depleted of its own.
How difficult is it to learn this "balance" you speak of? And would it completely negate our "curse" or just slow its effects?
