My summer break was a series of hellish training.
Although I invested in strengthening my equipment with Random Consolidation System, that didn't mean I gave up on training my body. I formed a workout routine using posts on Hero Community, and I put the effort in to match my perseverance stat.
A week went by in a breeze.
My body's growth was still stunted. However, Aether had finished its awakening.
===
[Aether - Awakened]
[Mystic – Formless] [Evolving]
A corporeal, but formless, weapon. Adheres to its master or his weapon, reinforcing their strength.
A portion of its potential was awakened through a mystical elemental's power.
—Master Selection
*Will not adhere to another being once a master is chosen.
—Physical Body Reinforcement
*Increases all variable stats of its owner by 0.7 points.
—Weapon Reinforcement
*Adheres to its master's weapon and strengthens the weapon's attack power. Aether itself can also form a weapon. (Current weapon-form Aether rank – 'high rank')
—Detail Materialization
*Aether can manifest color and texture (cannot be too complex).
—Evolving Weapon
All of the above functions evolves with its owner. Depending on the state of Aether's awakening, other functions can develop.

To summarize, Physical Body Materialization's variable stat boost increased from 0.6 to 0.7, and it awakened a new function called 'Detail Materialization'.
I quite liked this new function.
In the original story, Aether only had two colors, white or blue.
As such, weapons formed with Aether were noticeable, being either entirely white or blue.
But with Detail Materialization, it would be different.
An ordinary knife, ordinary hammer, ordinary gun... though, it said that it couldn't be too complex, so maybe a gun wouldn't work.
"...Would it?"
It didn't hurt to try.
When I thought about forming a gun, Aether squirmed around, trying to change to the shape of a gun. In the end, something went wrong and it ended up looking like a croissant.
"So it doesn't work."
Next was a knife.
Aether managed to form a knife without difficulty. A 35cm long blade and a black plastic handle.... I grabbed the knife to feel its texture. Just like I thought, it was no different than an ordinary knife.
The keyword was 'ordinary'.
"Evandel, Uncle is going to go out for a bit."
"...Un."
"I'll bring back yummy food, so don't play with that for too long. If you get sleepy, just sleep."
Evandel was molding her magic power as though it was a clay dough. Her instinct as a witch was telling her to make ghosts. I was a bit glad she was playing well by herself....
"Un~"
"Make cute animals with that, alright?"
Please don't make humans.
