Energy and matter, eh it's a stretch, but it could be perceived as fuel (it wouldn't BE energy, it would just contain it), and living things need fuel to survive, so that's cool too.
Energy can be debated to be a form of matter. On the other end of the spectrum, matter is simply known as stuff, and energy is not stuff, but what stuff has. An example is calories. They are not the food in itself, but merely an energy measurement we use for various nutritional and chemical aspects that allows us to know how much energy we will receive upon consuming said food. Let us also keep in mind that energy is never created or destroyed but merely changes form from circumstance to circumstance. Thus, aether can be perceived as pure flowing energy, or a form of atomic matter that carries with it a vital and ethereal energy.
I completely and wholeheartedly understand your desire to elaborate on this subject matter, as I have done so myself and enjoy doing so in regards to anything that displays itself upon my path, however, we must keep in good mind that this is a fantasy world. As much as I personally enjoy creating believable circumstances that other individuals may relate to and find interesting, I will ultimately come to terms with a world that may not exactly function, in its entirety, as our own. That, in conclusion, is the intriguing aspect of fantasy and perhaps may be the very reason why a plethora of players choose to participate in role play nearly every day.
