The '''Aether''' is a set of [[Lance]]s that can be wielded by [[Xaldin]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It can be upgraded to the '''Aether+'''.

"Aether" is a Latin word that carries several meanings relating to the sky, clean air, and deities. Aether is also the name of a {{w|Classical element}} that existed outside of the mortal world. The weapon's Japanese name, "Half-Moon Judgment", simply refers to the crescent blades in the weapon's design and relates to astrology, much like many of Xaldin's lances.

Aether's normal ground combo starts with Xaldin swinging his lances from the same starting point upward to two far points in a "V" formation, followed by swinging his lances above him in a circular formation, like a fan, and ends with a scissor-like attack, where all six lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves. The {{button|dsy}} combo can be activated after the second attack, and consists of a thrust of all six lances forwards, followed by a star-shaped shockwave being emitted from the tips of the lances, then, up to two consecutive scissor-like attacks can be performed, where all six lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves.

The aerial combo consists of an upward diagonal slash using one lance, followed by Xaldin swinging his lances above him in a circular formation, like a fan. The combo then ends with a scissor-like attack, where all six of Xaldin's lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves.
