It's just a discussion there's no need to get snippy.The point isn't to be rude. I'm pointing out that evidence was shown beforehand that says it doesn't work. You could possibly say that it may react the way you said it would with magitek, but when it comes to the magic in this game, it doesn't work that way. I would assume that the aether works the same way in magitek as it does in magic, but anyone could agree or disagree since there is no lore to base off of it. In the way you stated it, yes, it would make sense. When it naturally occurs, yes, it will work that way.
You may not personally like it, but this has been studied through the lore. There is little point in this particular part to be interpreted when it is a concrete rule. Not everything needs to be set in stone, but aether, in my opinion, is a rule that absolutely -needs- to be concrete in order for a story in this setting to make sense.
Though I'm just repeating what Freelance Wizard stated at this point in all honesty.
