Samurai and Aether how do they use it?

[Brannigan]

It seems to me that every non-Garlean combatant utilizes aether on some level (even if they're not consciously trying to). As for the player character job classes (machinist excluded?), I think it's likely that most supernatural feats activate the user's aether in some way. I don't care how angry a warrior gets, I doubt they're able to survive some of the stuff Holmgang lets them walk away from without some form of magic.

IIRC my Machinist lore correctly, the box on their hip converts their aether into bullets, possibly makes some of the other gadgets they use as well.

More specifically, it converts lightning aspected aether into the ammunition that they use for all of their shots. Not to mention Flamethrower is more than likely fire aspected aether.
