[@Drakey]Hm, this is actually a good chance to discuss how ether is used to fuel magic.

I know that in order to cast magic, inquisitors need further quantities of ether to supplement their own (except for the aegis, which must use an inquisitor's own ether to work). I pictured this as like, inquisitors having a sort of holy catalyst, like some device or totem that is unique to them, and this device is what allows them to channel their own mythical energies into to allow the use of spells. The device itself runs on ether however, and so it needs to be refilled and thus can't be used indefinitely. This would require inquisitors to carry around spare ether vials with them (or maybe they can be something else and not vials-- cartridges? charges? I'm not sure what to call them!)

Anyone have any ideas concerning this?

As for ether transfusions, I don't know why this wouldn't work. It'd pretty much be like a blood transfusion right? Maybe the ether has to be compatible, like there could be different ether types (beyond Omestrian/Not Omestrian)? This also wouldn't be seen as heretical, but just as an ordinary medical procedure.

As for the transfusions...I'm talking heretical -> like shoving demon ether into a slave. Or creating an artificial ether out of omestrian/demon ether that is stronger than a normal human's ether and shoving it in. Or taking Ziotea's ether out, mixing it with demon ether, making it stronger and shoving it back in. That kind of heretical.

So ether doesn't circulate between a person and external magics...ok. (ideas and machinations begin to form)

As for storage, I think it would depend on their catalyst. For a gun: it would be called a magazine. For the Madrys, I prefer to use vials.
