Quick preface; I am asking this question on behalf of a somewhat shy friend, so some of my responses may come from them if questions are asked.
A close friend of mine has had a character they love for a long time now, but they've sometimes run into an issue with RPing them; The character is mute and very reserved aside, so communication is often a problem for them on a more casual basis. Her initial solution was things like pads of paper but those can be clunky in social situations and not useful for very intense situations where there's no time for that and she's been looking for alternatives.
One thread of thought she's come across is some way to mimic speech using aether, either by direct speech or a less direct method, but before she did anything like that she wanted to get a kind of feel for what options were generally available. This can also include alternatives to this, of course, but I'm mainly interested in getting some feedback on what methods someone could use aether to 'speak', in any form.
If you could also provide any information to devices or methods like this in the lore that would be great. Thanks!
