How come the Aether does not grant wishes if it is the Reality stone ? Everytime I read this.......... The Aether converts matter to dark matter, and seeks out host bodies in order to draw strength from their life force thereby sapping them of energy in a process that would inevitably prove fatal. As used by Malekith, the only one who fully understood its capabilities, it was capable of creating tendrils of itself to strike out at opponents, or even regenerating lost limbs, along with creating a tornado of Aether energy. Whilst bonded to a strong host, Malekith, the Aether greatly enhanced his physical strength and durability thereby allowing to fightThor on a reasonably even basis. On its own, the Aether is capable of sending out pulses of power that can throw back any who it deems a threat to itself. The Aether appeared to have a connection to Malekith and the Dark Elves in that it awoke them from hibernation and drew them to Asgard, as well as providing its human host with the ability to sense the former's presence.
