Synthetic Energies
Energies created by combining ether with another esper type are called synthetic energies. Celestial esper (also called sacred esper) is spontaneously generated by the heavens and infernal esper (also called profane esper) is spontaneously generated by the hells. Theological upheaval has been caused by recent experiments in an astral demesne which have shown that the vast ambient ether of the Astral Sea can be used to “spontaneously” generate any synthetic esper in any of the astral demesnes. This synthetic esper will then slowly crowd out the natural philia resulting in a demesne that behaves very similarly to the heavens or hells (except, in this case, with lycan esper). Since the heavens and hells are, geographically speaking, not much different from other demesne clusters, many have now adopted the belief that rather than some fundamentally different sort of demesne, they’re just the result of some ancient wizardry. There is not yet any significant evidence as to whether the angels and demons were an intentional part of these ancient wizards’ plans or an accidental side effect.
