Is this the original idea behind Nahel bonds?

Have you read tWoKP?

Kinda, Brandon had plans for the Aethers magic from the very beginning with something called the Aethers of Lor, then Aether of Night, then Liar of Partinel, none of which are canon. He always wanted a flight Aether. So Aether Bonds and Aethers may have led to the development of spren and the Nahel Bond.

Aether of Night was before he came up with Aethers of Lor (which he only wrote a few pages of), but yeah. And after that, like you said, he moved them to Liar of Partinel (but didn't like them there, so now he moved them back out and plans a trilogy on the Aether planet).

Syl actually originates in a sub-series of Aethers of Lor called Aether of Wind (Brandon was planning for Aethers of Lor to be grouped into various sub-series, so the first book was gonna be The Aethers of Lor: The Aether of Wind Trilogy: Climb the Sky or something excessively long like that).
