Have you met Judith? Even in a city this size, I think it'd be hard to miss her flying around on Ba'ul--he's an Entelexeia. The Spirits aren't much different from them, but the Entelexeia didn't have the ability to affect mana or natural forces. In terms of power, though, they were way beyond humans or monsters. Mostly their focus was on maintaining the balance of aer in our world.
Aer is something that exists everywhere on Terca Lumereis and affects everything--it's a fundamental component of all forces and matter, and influences everything from the growth of organisms to the weather. It's created from springs of a sort, which are called aer krenes, and the volume of aer they produce is based on an equilibrium with the environment. So if aer is being consumed somewhere, the aer krenes will automatically compensate and release more.
Now this actually became a big issue...thanks to humans. Ancient civilizations created a technology called blastia that ran on aer for fuel. And although much of that culture and knowledge was lost a long time ago, we'd been excavating blastia and using them for everything you could think of: fountains, weapons, manufacturing...Anyway, with so many in use, aer was being consumed in such massive quantities that the aer krenes became unstable and started going out of control. They were producing way more than necessary, and aer has extremely detrimental effects when it gets too dense. People get ill, monsters go crazy, and just small plants can suddenly grow into giant twisted jungles. Too much is even fatal, for all life. So the unstable aer krenes were a huge danger to everything, but the Entelexeia could take in the excess aer and stabilize the aer krenes for a time. But eventually, it was just too much and they couldn't keep up with it.
We came across one completely stable aer krene, though. It was in some ice floes in the north, where somehow, most of the aer had been converted to matter--maybe it was frozen in the ice, or...Well, what matters right now was that it wasn't going out of control like the others. It gave me the idea to convert aer into mana, since mana is closer to matter. That method I already told you about, and it worked out perfectly.
I...don't know for sure all the changes that it's responsible for yet, though. It only happened just recently, and it wasn't the only huge change we made to the world. One thing that's certain is that the Spirits can use their abilities to revitalize the world. Places that were completely dead because of the aer have been revived.
