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.
