The six '''elements''' 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:

== 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).
