You briefly consider using your own trick from earlier, to break off a small piece of your etherform and have it scout the area beyond the storm. But the problem with that is, it takes a lot of concentration to focus on the information you’re receiving. It would be very hard for you to do that without losing ground.
However, it occurs to you that if you could get your tiny etherform to cast a spell that stops the wind, then the loss of ground wouldn’t matter. But casting remotely like that is unlike anything you’ve ever done.
There’s better precedent for splitting off a small part of yourself, focusing your consciousness into it, and casting through that. It’s how you defeated this demon, after all, even if splitting off wasn’t exactly voluntary. But that carries the risk that you wouldn’t be able to manage enough ether to do anything useful.
It’s the only idea you have, though. So you opt to take the risk. You focus your consciousness into a smaller portion of ether, separate it from the main mass, and then push hard through the wind.
You’re on the other side of the storm, but you have very little ethereal mass now. The main mass is being pushed away. You did manage to keep enough of a connection to sense things through it, but you don’t expect that to be useful right now.
Not as useful as taking stock of your surroundings, anyway.
Suggestions:
It looks like this whole space sits on top of a bowl with a similar look to the machines you saw earlier, way way up to top you spot another bowl like structure floating in mid-air, it’s hard to even see it normally, within the storm it was completely unseeable. You can kind of see a bright light up there, as if someone was casting a spell
