Divine Æther

Description
Divine Æther is the core substance that makes up the energy of a divine spell. Unlike traditional Æther, Divine Æther must be channeled through a force of greater power such as a deity, demi-god, or other-worldly patron. Faith and balance must be kept with the force providing Divine Æther to a subject and it is possible to have a connection to such force severed by many means.

When casting a Channeling Divine Æther the limits of the world can be bent beyond what is traditionally known and the caster can do near limitless things with the forces this channeling allows them to control. However, many greater powers have limitations they must follow, or may lack the reach of a being of greater power and so the channeler's abilities may be limited by such circumstances. However, inherent faith does provide some level of ability to bend the world's limits. It has been documented that even when a connection to one's patron or faith has been severed, some divine channelers have been ability to retain some or all of their abilities. It is believed that this is dependent on the caster's experience in manipulating Divine Æther.

It is believed that like traditional Æther, channelers can carry with them some quantity of the Divine Æther and that use of the some magic of extraordinary magnitude can even leave enough residual Divine Æther that casters can pull from this power even when access to their higher power may be limited.
