Interesting. Your world isn't like many I've heard of. Aether and its use, are they common knowledge even among people who don't train?
People who can use magic in my world are far, far outnumbered by those who can't. And most people don't know of its existence. There are only a few humans who can See what most cannot.
I think the first thing to do would be to gather a number of materials and see how well they absorb and retain magic. I very much doubt that any old container is going to be a good choice for holding the kind of magic we're talking about here.
