which throws a wrench into a lot of RPC's head canons about aether in combat (like EVERYONE is an aether user, be it gladiator or mage.)
Think you missed these posts.
The direct quote from Y'shtola in English version is:
"As a result, I strongly suspect that his ability to manipulate aether has been compromised. Simply put, Thancred may no longer be able to wield magicks.
It would do much to explain why he chose to remain within the wilderness instead of seeking us out. He would have been compelled to rely solely on traditional methods of travel, significantly prolonging his journey. And when he learned that..."
As I posited earlier, teleporting requires great deal of actual supply and -control-. Wielding and manipulating aether and magic may be a completely different deal than aether being unconsciously or subconsciously to enhance one's body. A lalafell vs a roegadyn or a highlander in physical combat for example. A lalafell would not be concentrating so much to wield or manipulate aether so much so that the nature of a race is to just use what -we- consider to be super human feats.
Or you know, it's just natural to do those we consider super-human and aether is doing jack squat.
