To date Erik has used aether on many occasions. Most notably and commonly in the following ways. Note that Erik has ooc had 3 years of conjury training early on in his life and also over the course of his early life as his mother was a conjuer as well. Also note that several but not all of his aetheric abilities stem from enchanted items more then himself.
1. Crystal Eye
Erik's right eye was lost in a fight with his childhood friend. The eye is made of an aether shard treated by a joint effort of the alchemist and goldsmith guilds. The eye has 3 abilities. First it "looks" real via glamour. Second he can see through via aethiric attunment, even if its out of his head up to 100 fulms. And third it allows him to "Lybra" or see anothers aura to assess the person's health, as a side effect he can scan the heart rate as a makeshift lie detector.
2. Battle Ring
Using the same technique as the aether network (converting matter into energy, transmitting the energy, then reassemble the matter) the ring can convert Erik's his battle armor into aether and store that energy within it. It allows him quickly go to arms.
3. Conjury
Not tied to an item Erik has very basic conjury ic. He cannot heal a complex wound but he can heal basic injuries and at time with much concentration and exhaustion once stopped the bleeding of a deep wound but that was a bit of a fluke.
4. Aetheric Power
In a world where aether is not only a fact of life, but where it is, as stated in the lore, abundant, my thought is that is an advantage no army would pass up. Even if there was no aetheric training in the three main militaries before the issue of the empire, there would be after the first attack. The empire is weak in aether, that is to much of an advantage to pass up. That said as a Flame soldier Erik can do channeled aether skills. Focusing the energy to boost his strength and stamina for short periods is a common reality and is reflected in his ic combat. As a note he can use as his ultimate skill, Circle of Scorn, which I balance by saying it exhausts his aether leaving him weak for hours or more depending on other activity.
