Another valid point for non-caster types to use aether is the fact that all the PCs can use Teleport and Return, which involves using your aether for "fast travel." I doubt the common citizen can use it (otherwise, why bother with carts and the like?), but most adventuring sorts seem to have enough control over their personal aether to make use of them.
It's actually almost all that Chachan can do, beyond his super-simplified Physick that only really works for cuts and bruises. I like to believe he actually has a decent wellspring of aether to draw on, but he can really only use it in times of great stress or importance. So... basically when the plot needs him to be something more than the dorky little smith-turned-heroling he is.
