Sure, just don't set me on fire again

the name comes from the six Primal aspects: Ignis, Aer, Aqua, Terra, Ordo and Perditio. with them i can make other compound aspects, for example, if i combine Ignis with Ordo, i make Potentia, which is the aspect of energy. so if i have some Ignis and Ordo i can power simpler machines or with a few other aspects, a catalyst and a crucible, i could make some raw fuel.

Seems simple enough.

it can quickly get complicated when you start to move into more advanced compound aspects.
let me give you an example.
*holds his staff out, a small glimmer of green and a small glimmer of blue appear, they fuse together and a single little glimmer of red comes out from it, then a small glimmer of silvery white, fuses with the red to create a pinkish red. Gonzo then bonks you on the chest and a the burns heal up slightly*
there i combined Terra and Aqua to create Victus, the aspect of life, then i combined Victus with Ordo to create Sano, the aspect of healing. which i crudely used to heal you with.

Interesting. So how do you draw on these elements? Are they stored in the crystals or are they just like a conduit?

they are in everything. the ground you walk on is filled with Terra essentia, the water has Aqua essentia, lave would contain both Ignis, Terra and potentia.
gold would have the Metallum and the Lucrum, Metallum becuase it's a metal, and Lucrum becuase it's valuable and connected to greed and such.
though you can find the six main aspects in crystalized forms underground.
Magic can take a few different forms, when it's an Aspect it's just that, an aspect, when it's essentia, its a sort of liquid version of the aspect. when it's "Vis" it's in a useable magic form, like what my staff here is charged with.
if you want Vis, you can tap it out of an Aura node, which are found all around the world. though you can't see them with the naked eye.
if you want essentia, you'll need a somewhat complicated magical refinement and distilling proccess.

Neat. I think I'll stick to good ol' science though.

The Primal System coexists well with science and such. for example the Potentia aspect can be used to charge simpler devices or battries.

I get the feeling that if I try to use it, it'll just end up horribly backfiring on me (I like my body the way it is, and not on fire)

// and for those that have not gotten it yet, "The Primal System" is my skewed version of Thaumcraft 4 for minecraft. my version is slightly different, but anyone who has played with it will recognize it. i also highly recommend playing with it, it's a very well structured mod that adds a lot.

with the primal system... setting yourself in fire is going to be the least of your worries in terms of fuck-ups.

What mess-ups can happen that are worse than setting yourself on fire?
