'''Aether''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˈiθɚ}}<ref>Ike and Chrom in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series</ref>; Japanese: {{hl|天空|Tenkū}} ''Heavens'') is an [[offensive skill]] which debuted in {{FE9}}. When activated, Aether deals two consecutive blows to the enemy. The first blow has the effect of the [[Sol (skill)|Sol]] skill, draining [[hit point]]s from the target to heal the user, and the second has that of [[Luna (skill)|Luna]], bypassing the target's defensive stats. As with the two base skills themselves, the specific effects of Aether vary somewhat beyond this from game to game.

Aether is primarily available only to the protagonists of certain games, and is most commonly associated with [[Ike]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Chrom]] and [[Lucina]]. It is traditionally obtained after [[class change|class changing]], as a [[:Category:Mastery skills|mastery skill]] in ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', tied to Ike and [[Greil]]'s classes, [[Lord]], [[Hero]] and [[Vanguard]], and as a class skill learned by [[Great Lord]]s in ''Awakening''. In {{title|Fates}}, in addition to Ike and Lucina possessing the skill as [[amiibo]] units, it is possible to teach Aether to any other unit in the game as a [[downloadable content]] reward.

===''Fire Emblem Cipher''===
==={{TCGCipher}}===
Aether is present as a skill on one card in {{TCGCipher}}: ''[[Ike#Fire Emblem Cipher|B05-089SR Radiant Hero, Ike]]''. It is a trigger skill which activates automatically when Ike is used to attack the opponent's lord unit, which adds +10 attack power to Ike until the end of the opponent's next turn. If the player chooses to do so, Aether also allows him to automatically destroy any two other enemy units in addition to their attack on the opponent's lord, in exchange for a steep price in bonds. Ike's other skill on this card, Memories of War, allows the player to reduce the bond cost of Aether depending on how many cards have been stacked underneath Ike's card.

* It is possible that the first hit of Ike's Aether animation in ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', which entails throwing his weapon in the air and catching it mid-jump to strike, is a reference to the [[Mercenary]]'s [[critical hit]] animation in the [[Game Boy Advance]] games (pictured).

*Ather shares its Italian name, ''{{lang|it|Etere}}'', with the [[Aureola]] weapon.
* In ''Path of Radiance'', Aether is unusual in that while Ike is only able to activate it at 1 range, Greil – if hacked into the game and assigned the skill – is able to activate Aether at 2 range if he attacks with a throwing axe.<ref name="greil" />
