Perhaps we could homebrew some way for a completed Cipher to allow generation of Aether? Maybe something could be done with that Pentacle homebrew, where you can add a final Exploit to the Cipher. Or maybe some kind of transhuman (transdemonic?) modification or transformation might allow the same, analogous to a Beast's Inheritance or what-have-you.Last edited by ajf115; 11-03-2018, 04:54 AM.

You could allow for Pacts to grant Aether. I mean, they kinda already can, in that you could make a Patchwork, then Go Loud with it to refill your pool.
Pacts, I would say, are fully a function of Demonic Primum, and thus would work in some manner regardless of local supporting Infrastructure (unless the current reality is too incompatible, of course).

Perhaps a demon can consume a pact for Aether equal to twice the rating of said pact (e.g. a pact for someone's pet (lesser) would yield 2 Aether, one for a boyfriend (medial) would yield 4 and one for a close family member (greater) would yield 6), or for a large amount (ideas for quantities welcome) if the pact is a Soul Pact.
