You use Aberrant Cinders during the Helltide Event when unlocking Tortured Gifts.

Tortured Gifts range from 75 to 175 Aberrant Cinders.

It’s also worth noting that when you die, you lose half your Aberramt Cinders and when a Helltide Event is done, your Aberrant Cinders reset back to zero. That said, use the best Necromancer build to stay alive and spend all your Aberrant Cinders before the Helltide Event ends.
