Elements
From Delgar
The six elements of aether are, in order of decreasing energy level, Light, Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Shadow. These correspond to the six points of the material phase spectrum: energy, plasma, gas, liquid, solid, and void. In addition, they are mapped onto three perpendicular axes:
Axis | Ordered | Chaotic |
---|---|---|
Luminal | Magenta / Shadow | Yellow / Light |
Thermal | Blue / Water | Red / Fire |
Material | Green / Earth | Cyan / Air |
Complex Aetheric States
As these axes are not mutually exclusive, a given quantity of aether can be multiple at the same time. Such aetheric states are deemed "complex." Complex aetheric states can be either complementary (component elements balanced across the order-chaos spectrum) or coordinated (component elements on the same end of the order-chaos spectrum).
