What is Aether?
Aether is the raw, or physical, form of the elements. In short,  it is magic.  Once you become bonded, or if you have a character race that allows Aether use before the bond, you will become an Elemental Bender, or Mage. Aether is wielded through sheer will power, concentrating the Soul or Pool Energy and can be used to do many different things. However, no one may control more than one element and the element they wield will be the same element their Drak will use. Once a bond is made Humans are able to access a new portion of their Subconcious mind where the Aether Pool is found. In a way its like your diving into a dream.
--To wield Aether does not mean to perform a physical action in order to make the element appear. Instead, one must delve deep within their conscious to pull the element like a thread from fabric then weave it into their bidding. Below is an example of how Sceltyr controls her soul fire.
Note: Energy pools can look like anything from an orb floating suspended in the darkness of your mind, to a pool or water or a mirror. Whatever you can imagine to draw energy through in some form.

[/font][li]Example: Tyr let her eyes slide shut and dove deep into the darkness of her own conscious. Sinking deeper and deeper until she found the glowing pool of energy, its surface reflecting her face. This was her energy source. She concentrated on pulling out a rope of the energy.  Slowly, tiny threads started to lift from the surface straight toward her outstretched hand. Grasping the energy, she opened her eyes and suddenly lashed out with her right hand; lashing out with a whip of silvery fire.[/li][/ul]

Below are the four elements and the Zodiac signs that align with that element to make the strongest form of a Drak.

For Example:

• If your Draks element and sign are of the same element they will be stronger.
    • For Example: A fire element Drak born under Sagittarius would be the strongest fire element you could get.  However, if you get     a fire element Drak born under the Aries sign it will be the weaker of the two.
• If you have a Drak with a sign that doesn't align with its element then it won't be as strong.
    • For Example: A A fire element Drak born under a Pisces (water) sign will be substantially weaker and is considered unaligned.

Element: FIRE
Sign: Sagittarius + Leo + Aries

• Burning from within, their power comes from Fyr the pure source of fire. Controlling fire, projecting heat, hurling flames and igniting source fires; these are just simple things a Fire element can do. The stronger their rank the more powerful their fire. They can even bend magma and reduce things to ashen cinders. Their power mostly comes from powerful emotions like anger, compassion or love.

Element: EARTH
Sign: Taurus + Virgo + Capricorn

• Steady, solid and immovable; strength comes from Threh the pure source of Earth. They come in a variety. Some earth Elements may master controlling soil and rock; they tend to have super human strength. Other Earth elementals control the floral aspect of earth. Plants comes to their aid,  grow from nothing to do their benders bidding. These elementals can also poison. It has been known for some female Earth elementals to have poisoned their lips to assassinate.  On rare occasions an Earth element who uses flora may also heal through herbal means. Such ones are able to produce the plants they need to speed healing within their own skin and inject the salve directly to the source of a wound.

ELEMENT: AIR
Sign: Gemini + Libra + Aquarius

• The fickle form, ever changing and never settling. Ayr is the pure source of the Air Element. The Air user can do things such as float on the air, push currents or wind strong enough to slice through targets, breath underwater and glide. Stronger Air benders have been known to bring storms or use electricity and sound as offensive and defensive means. An extremely strong Air bond can even rip the breath straight from an opponent's lungs.  Air elementals are also the only ones who can use telepathy, though it is more like whispering on the wind from a distance and suddenly the target hears you as if your actually whispering in their ear from beside them.

ELEMENT: WATER
Sign: Cancer + Scorpio + Pisces

• Coldest of powers,  yet from the calm but fierce form of Azqua comes the element Water. Normally calm and collected, they draw strength from being level headed and thinking clearly. Controlling water and ice to lash out at, entrap, slash or even drown they are a fierce and hard to beat element. The strongest of water elementals can actually rip all the water from a target's body, killing them slowly as they dehydrate.
