First up thanks for the response but is the Void really devoid of aether? It doesn't seem likely just from looking at the Ascians and the vast amount of voidsent that use magic, plus from the chrysalis trial it looks to be brimming with a dark form of aether. So unless the Ascians, the Voidsent and perhaps even the Void itself drains aether from elsewhere to fuel their abilities it just doesn't seem very likely. I'm not basing that on anything other than my own logic so feel free to prove me wrong.
Again thanks for the repliesÂ
The Void is literally devoid of aether. I can't find the quote atm, but I want to say that is stated in the game directly.
That is exactly why the aether-starved voidsent try to get to the physical plane, especially Eorzea, which is basically flooded with aether. Of course, aether has to travel between Hydaelyn and the Aetherstream, as shown in a cutscene when the Scions are discussing the echo and summoning.
(The Ascians are actually not voidsent though. They are something else entirely. This is touched upon in content with Moenbryda).
Slight correction: between Hydaeylyn and the aetherial sea.
Hydaelyn <-> Void <-> Aetherial Sea
When you start talking about the Lifestream, things get... trickier.
