Aether Monolith

(Placeholder Page - Future editors are requested to add an animation of the monolith in inactivity/activity if possible.) The Aether Monolith is a Monolith item that changes the sky, but functions differently from other monoliths. Using the button or wire to activate it will cycle through three distinct states:


 * 1) Suppresses the Aether biome's visual effect even if there is enough Shimmer nearby to create the biome.
 * 2) Has no effect, like other monoliths when deactivated.
 * 3) Manifests the Aether biome's visual effect, like other monoliths when activated.

These states are represented by animations of increasing intensity. When an Aether Monolith is placed down, it will always be in its inactive state.

Obtaining:
To obtain the Aether Monolith, the player must throw an Angel Statue into Shimmer so that it may be transmuted.

Trivia

 * Prior to 1.4.4, The Angel Statue was completely useless, and was a common meme. After 11 years, the item has finally been given a use.
 * "Aether" refers to a medieval belief in a "fifth element" that fills the space beyond Earth.
 * The name also refers to the name of the biome whose effect it mimics.
