Aether is the dragons hunger, if it reaches 100% it will get sick and turn to stone, the crystals is what they eat to keep their aether low:

Thanks! Might I suggest that be added somewhere to the wiki? Nothing under the crystals mentions anything about aether.

Also, what is the "sufficient amount" of aether needed for digging?

My apologies if this is a stupid question, but... what is aether? I tried searching the various pages of the wiki and all I could find were two instances of the word, one saying you need a "sufficient amount" of aether in order to dig and another saying your dragon goes down to 0% aether if sick.

So, what is it exactly? How does one accrue it? If you need a certain amount of it to dig,  how much is that amount and do you lose it each time you dig?

I'm really curious about the digging/crafting aspect of this game even more the breeding part, so I was a bit disappointed after I bought a dragon and sat on it for an hour wondering why it wasn't digging (I got it linked and turned on in the HUD)... only to find that I missed the part about the aether requirement and then finding further that I couldn't locate any more information about it. 

Any help toward understanding what aether is and how it works would be appreciated. Thanks!
