'''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 [[Taken]] essence,  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.

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 vapor that one moves through like water, heavy and opaque. And appears to cause damage to those lingering inside the Dark Ether overtime. [[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. Dark Ether has also been described to seek out empty vessels. With Dark Ether, Scorn are described to be uncontrollable.


==Properties==
During Variks's early experiments with Dark Ether, the servitors he used to drain the Dark Ether from an imprisoned Fikrul malfunctioned and self-destruct violently, suggesting that elements within Dark Ether poison the mechanisms in the machines, leaving them shattered and lifeless. The rogue Light-bearer, [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]], also had difficulty in experimenting with Dark Ether, finding it near impossible to control or create items similar to a [[Mote of Dark]].
Dark Ether lingers instead of dissipating like normal Ether, and is described by [[Variks, The Loyal|Variks]] as a fog-like vapor that one moves through like water, heavy and opaque, and appears to cause damage to those lingering inside the Dark Ether over time.
 
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, becoming intangible and invisible aside from a trail of vapor, to sneak past enemies and reform at a better vantage point. It can also be used to create rifts to teleport Scorn forces to battle.

According to [[Fynch]], Dark Ether "wears pinholes in reality", which can be expanded by the Scorn to be used as a means of teleportation.
