If someone has had some training as a THM, but perhaps hasn't mastered it, would it be potentially possible for them to infuse other weapons with their own aether? For example, swords, lances, etc. Even if it's accidental - maybe from instinct or something. Not reliable, but possible when certain conditions are met.

In terms of spellcasting, the weapons each of those classes uses are made of certain materials because they conduct the aether for their magic better. THM uses bone/precious metal staves and scepters that incorporate a jewel into the head, CNJ uses a wooden staff or cane, and ACN books are made of all sorts of materials but with very specific types of inks, mixed with precious metals and blood. While some spells can be cast cross-class, they are generally weaker as a result from both a game play and in-world perspective.

There is a bit of lore behind each one, but it's fairly open ended. (For example, I had Jana use a ritual dagger with a gold hilt encasing a ruby for a specific RP scene where she used some THM and ACN aether manipulation.) If you wanted to have a THM character accidentally infuse a weapon with aether, it might work better with an ornate sword than with a mostly-wood spear, for example.
