[@Lovejoy] I like the idea of needles for drawing ether.  Probably it's done a bit like dialysis, but requires an etheric component?

When I say fire I mean her ether manifests as fire -- just as it would manifest as force if I went with that one.  If you would prefer her not to be straight fire perhaps I could make it more...explosive?  That'd put it more toward force usage, but perhaps with the addition of a spark (I can make a gadget to produce them) she might be able to generate something flashy.

The down side of that, of course, is that because her power is geared towards explosions a lot of the simpler applications for ether would be beyond her.  If most priests can light candles with a though, her attempts would end up with wax everywhere, or a completely melted candle.  A small ether light would be a bright flash, etc.

Waitwait, backup.  I reread the bit about fire...are you saying that candles, flames, cookfires, those don't exist anymore?   You can't make a spark with flint and steel?  Things don't burn?  Or are you just saying fire as a form of magic is gone?  (Though wouldn't a bit of it remain in Omestrian ether?)

I don't think it would be too OP if her power manifested itself as being able to cast explosive ether bursts and still having basic ether control. If you're still unsure about this, what about lightning/electricity? Maybe that would work? In any case, I say go with your gut and create a CS. Once I see it we can get into the knitty-gritty of whatever ethereal magic you choose.

 As for the element of fire being gone from the world. Yeah, it's pretty much how I described it. Fire doesn't exist, in any form-- so no candles, flames, flints don't give off sparks, ect. Admittedly the science behind this is definitely very wonky, but it's meant to be more poetic and literal and is not supposed to make a ton of sense. MAGIC!

 While there are traces of the Fire Titan's essence in Omestrian ether, it doesn't full on manifest as "fire". In fact, since human beings have lived without the concept of fire for as long as they can remember, they would pretty much freak the hell out if they ever saw it in the real world. Hope that answers your questions!

That might work. It's definitely savage-looking enough. It might not be so convenient though, since sometimes ether has to be extracted quickly. Hm. I don't know. Maybe we should just go with the needle/dialysis method.

Water magic sounds absolutely doable to me, and pretty cool! Since they wouldn't be able to control the temperature of it, your character wouldn't be able to melt the ice which is covering 90% of the world, which I like. Maybe they can unlock this ability later on as their magical strength grows. They'd also have to wear some kind of water containment unit, like a backpack or something, to house the water they'd use for their magic.
