The Child of Aether
The Children of Destiny are each given an element, and one of these is Aether. This child can manipulate the strings of aether which flow through all of the world and tie to each living creature. This affords the child many unique abilities such as disconnecting a mage from their magic, stopping time, and disabling magical traps.
