"Comprehending a material means comprehending its Ether," Theodor explained. "First, look at it."
"I am," Kyle said as he looked at the copper.
"Take it into your hands."
Kyle did just that.
"Move it around," Theodor said. "What's the color?"
"Eh, copper?" Kyle asked.
"What if you bring it to a stronger light source?" Theodor asked.
Kyle brought the piece of copper closer to the window.
At this moment, Kyle was in a warehouse he had rented. After all, all of this ore didn't fit into his tiny room.
He held it to the sun and looked at it.
"Its color changed a bit, but not by much," Kyle said.
"Remember that," Theodor said. "Now, bring it to a dark place."
Kyle went to a small closet near the side.
"Huh, strange," Kyle said as he looked at the copper in the darkness. "I never noticed that."
At this moment, the copper was green.
