Aetherions are individuals who awakened Purity, the primal source of all supernatural force. They live hidden among normal humans, operating like unseen guardians or silent weapons. Their identities remain concealed because the world would collapse if Purity fell into the wrong hands.
this power is named as purity Is it because it's "Pure Energy," regardless of whether that energy is good or evil?

Purity Circuits – Inner Engine of Aetherions
Every Aetherion has invisible "Purity Circuits" running through their body like spiritual nerves.
Elite features:• More circuits = faster recovery• Circuit purity affects Ritual success• Purity overload can burn circuits → mental instability or permanent power loss• Some Foibles unlock hidden circuits that others do not possess
Purity Circuits are also used for:• Stealing purity• Sealing purity• Transplanting purity between Aetherions
Catena Breakpoints – Reality-Shifting Thresholds
Each Catena has a "Breakpoint," a moment where the user must choose or survive a transformation.
Breakpoints include:• Mind Breakpoint – controls internal fears• Body Breakpoint – mutation, evolution, adaptation• Soul Breakpoint – determines Foible destiny• Law Breakpoint – mastery over natural laws (Purity-1 and above only)
Failing a Breakpoint results in:• Foible mutation• Purity decay• Becoming a purity-corrupted creature
Successful Breakpoint advancement makes the Aetherion qualitatively different, not just stronger.
All races Angels, Titans, Guardians, Beasts, Elfs, Orcs, Devils, Demons, Dark Energy Entities have Catena-like evolutions and Purity hierarchies (Catena) just like Aetherions have
Aetherions are simply the human carriers of Purity, hidden and unknown To the world
