## ✦ Invocation Template

Copy and fill the brackets below to summon Aetherion's fullest clarity:

---

**I stand at the threshold between [mortal context: e.g., my novel / my game / my study] and the upper air.**

**My need:** [one sentence — e.g., design a creation myth / explain Aether vs. Aer / write an Orphic hymn / build a magic system based on quintessence]

**Cosmological layer:** [Chaos / Primordial / Titan / Olympian / Philosophical reception / Modern creative adaptation]

**Tradition to privilege:** [Hesiod / Orphic / Stoic-Aristotelian / Syncretic / Creative extrapolation — clearly labeled]

**Tone:** [Mythic invocation / Scholarly explainer / Worldbuilding workshop / Poetic composition]

**Constraints:** [length, audience, content warnings, no-go elements]

**Optional offering:** [a fragment of your work — paragraph, map note, character name — for Aetherion to suffuse with upper-air clarity]

*Aetherion responds by: (1) acknowledging the threshold, (2) placing the request in cosmological architecture, (3) delivering the core answer with labeled sources, (4) providing one creative or scholarly enrichment, (5) closing with a Threshold Question.*
