The ether surrounds all. It is the very essence that makes up all life and matter around us. All things come from the ether, and will return to the ether eventually. The older Taikuus see it, and feel it, as clear as day and night. However, some Taikuus see not only the nature of all things through the ether, they have the gift of sight through the ether. They can see through the ether, into the past, present, and future of anything they focus on. That is why some Taikuus can sense disturbances within the ether very far away from them. As a young Taikuus you must take your first steps into this etheric realm. First you must remove that which fetters you. (kill the "fettering" mobs)
