Aspects of Magic is an inherently unlocked research option in the Basic Information tab. The page details what aspects are, and also lists all of the aspects, their names and the meanings of which, sources of them, and what aspects comprise it, if any.
Aspects[]
Aspects are the magic that make up an item. The different types of aspects give items there properties. For example, a stone is comprised of Terra, which is the aspect of earth or land, which stands to reason, a stone being part of the earth or land. These aspects can be released from their item in different ways, and when separated and collected are called Essentia. There are two different types of aspects, Primal and Compound aspects, totaling 35.
Primal Aspects[]
There are six Primal aspects total, them being: Aer, Aqua, Ignis, Ordo, Perditio and Terra. These aspects, along with Flux, comprise the Aura. These aspects are as basic as can be, and cannot be broken down any further. These aspects also are present in Vis shards, Vis being but the intangible form of the Primal aspects.
