'''Dark Ether''' is a corrupted variant of [[Ether]] used and manufactured by the [[Scorn]] from Fikrul's body. Created when [[Riven]] granted [[Uldren]]'s wish to resurrect a dead [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]] by infusing Fikrul's Ether with Uldren's own [[Darkness]], this substance is the source of the Scorn's strange powers. Fikrul can use the substance to resurrect dead [[Eliksni]] and [[Scorn]], including himself, while [[Elykris, the Machinist|the Machinist]] can do the same from [[Public Event|Ether Rituals]]. [[Raider]]s can turn themselves into clouds of Dark Ether to sneak past enemies and reform at a better vantage point. | '''Dark Ether''' is a corrupted variant of [[Ether]] used and manufactured by the [[Scorn]] from Fikrul's body.

Resurrected individuals appear to be able to survive without a head, as shown by [[Ravager|Ravagers]] and [[Abomination|Abominations]]. Repeated resurrections have a physical toll on the user, leading to the progressive formation of tumor-like growths and increasing mental derangement. Eventually, Eliksni who have undergone many resurrections will become [[Screeb|Screebs]], mindless, crawling Thrall-like monstrosities who throw themselves at enemies and self-destruct in a blast of Dark Ether. It lingers instead of dissipating like normal Ether, and is described by [[Variks, The Loyal|Variks]] as a fog-like gas that one moves through like water, heavy and opaque. And appears to cause damage to those lingering inside the Dark Ether overtime. | Resurrected individuals appear to be able to survive without a head, as shown by [[Ravager|Ravagers]] and [[Abomination|Abominations]].

[[Variks]] also says that it is a life-giving substance because it revives the dead [[Fallen]] while regular ether is a life-sustaining substance for the Fallen. | ||
