To clarify Erik is an aether user in combat, if only for my own logic. I built him where at his origin 16 years ago he was a conjurer, and used that base understanding of aether in his overall combat model. It is very light really, as aether warrior's I've seen go. He has an enchanted ring that converts his Sworn armor to aether and stores it, and a false eye embedded with an ice aether shard that lets him "see" the health, wellness, or lack thereof of those he sees, calling it Lybra after the legacy Final Fantasy spell. The only other aetheric skill he uses is when he uses the aether like the force to control the flight and return of his shield when he throws it.
All this is not to say he won't gain/lose aetheric skill in the future. He is a constantly evolving character who in the past has been both weaker and stronger at times. It all flows for him.
