Chinese Simplified	乙太精炼器	阿瓦缇维亚发明的机械能够稳定原初乙太，但她都不知道它还能创造生命。	神器	如果你将得到一个或数个{E}，则改为你得到两倍数量的{E}。 {T}：你得到{E}，然后你可以支付一个或数个{E}。如果你如此作，则派出一个X/X黑色乙太种衍生生物，X为以此法支付的{E}数量。	665272
French	Raffinerie d'Éther	L'invention d'Avaati Vya stabilisait l'Éther brut, mais même elle ne s'attendait pas à ce qu'elle puisse créer la vie.	Artefact	Si vous deviez gagner au moins un {E}, vous gagnez deux fois ce nombre de {E} à la place. {T} : Vous gagnez {E}, puis vous pouvez payer au moins un {E}. Si vous faites ainsi, créez un jeton de créature X/X noire Éthérien, X étant la quantité de {E} payée de cette manière.	665168

Falls du dies tust, erzeuge einen X/X schwarzen Äthergeborener-Kreaturenspielstein, wobei X gleich der Anzahl der auf diese Weise bezahlten {E} ist.	665116

2024-06-07	Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
2024-06-07	Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
2024-06-07	If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
2024-06-07	If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.
2024-06-07	If two or more effects attempt to modify how many {E} you get (or how many counters you would get), you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
2024-06-07	If you control two Aether Refineries, the amount of {E} you get is four times the original number. Three Aether Refineries multiplies the original number by eight, and so on.
2024-06-07	Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
2024-06-07	Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.
2024-06-07	Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.
2024-06-07	Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.
2024-06-07	{E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.
