So I am reaching out to all those savvy with lore to find out if there is anything in the lore that says non-magic-users can use aether to enhance physical abilities, or channel aether into attacks. (i.e. Lancers, Archers, Pugilists, Gladiators and Marauders). If so, to what end? How does it work, and to what level of intensity?

I realize that there may not be answers to these questions, but I thought I would try asking. I am curious for various reasons.

I have heard that the Monk story quests talk about the use of aether for Monks, but have never leveled Monk, so I do not know the details.

Also, in the Lancer story quests...

Foulques (an antagonist Lancer) defeats several Wood Wailers single-handedly, and when your character faces off against him in a showdown, he uses an Ice-based AOE attack that he causes by stabbing the ground with his spear. The "mini ice storms" linger for quite a while even after he continues to fight in melee with his spear.

Now I did consider that it could simply be a fight mechanic that the devs put in there to create a challenge for the player, but there are other ways that could have been implemented. Traps, or fire bombs that create a lingering area of flame. But, no, it was specific. Like a spell he casted with his spear.


Other little examples like the Bard's wind-arrow attack exist, so it does seem that the game mechanics certainly hint to the use of aether in Disciple of War attacks, but I want to know if there is any lore that either confirms or denies this. Maybe even something that gives us an idea of the limitations?

All responses welcome, but I do ask that people back-up their answers with at least mentioning where they got the information.
