Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
Uncondensed 2, 4 A person's Fate Disk contains a central Fate Card and Ability Card slots. Learning secret arts can form Ability Cards, but possessing an ordinary ability alone does not make someone a First Order Transcendent.
First Order 52, 138 A Fate Card can be raised through the nurturing and accumulation of compatible Ability Cards. Solin advanced to First Order Blood Law after completing Breathing Technique Lv.2 and Power Burst Lv.2. Bestowed Advancement, elixirs, rituals, and trials are alternative routes.
Second Order 177 The First and Second Orders are described as periods of filling gaps in innate abilities and solidifying one's destiny.
Third Order 177, 588 Advancement opens a powerful core card slot shaped by accumulated abilities, knowledge, Aspect Power, and secret arts. Third Order also brings comprehensive enhancement that can negate many low-order effects.
Fourth Order 522, 523 Aspect Powers begin manifesting additional inherent traits. For example, Fourth Order Emerald Nectar grants instinctive plant perception and manipulation, while Secret Speech can affect language, information, and rules more profoundly.
Fifth Order 616, 641 A Transcendent may integrate a second Aspect Power and advance through a Composite Aspect rather than remain single-aspect. The resulting powers vary by path; Sylutia's Fifth Order advancement granted levitation, faster knowledge absorption, heightened mental clarity, and greater spiritual perception.

Nature and Mechanics

Aspect Powers are conceptual forms of supernatural magic. They may transform into one another through specific methods and can be weakened or strengthened; secret arts based on a strengthened Aspect receive corresponding enhancement. 4

Fate Cards and Ability Cards

  • Each individual possesses a central Fate Card within their Fate Disk, alongside one to three Ability Card slots. Learned secret arts and techniques can become Ability Cards and take effect when placed in the Disk. 2 177
  • A Fate Card represents an individual's destiny, while Ability Cards record innate or acquired powers. At Third Order, the newly opened core card slot represents acquired experience rather than inborn fate or bloodline. 177
  • Multiple abilities of the same Aspect can resonate and reinforce one another. Sylutia's three supporting cards transmitted moonlight to her central Alien Star Fate Card, which transformed and returned the energy as starlight. 171
  • High-order Aspect Powers can erode their surroundings over time, transforming locations, objects, and living beings. Dragon-inhabited areas, for example, may produce Dragon Breath Grass infused with weak Dragon Eye power. 252

Inheritance and Specialization

  • Most people can only focus on cultivating one primary Aspect Power. 4
  • Blood Law is latent in all red-blooded life and can be cultivated alongside another path at low ranks, but increasingly powerful Blood Law abilities interfere with a primary Aspect at higher tiers. 4
  • Other bloodline-linked Aspects include Beast Fang in beasts, Dragon Eye in draconic creatures, Spiral Fish in aquatic and amphibious life, Insect Moth in insects, and Emerald Nectar in plants. Humans can cultivate these powers if they meet the necessary conditions, though doing so requires greater resources and skill than for natural inheritors. 4
  • Blood Law and Beast Fang are among the simplest advancement paths, primarily strengthening flesh and bone; their direct physical growth made them common choices in past eras. 523
  • Blazing Sun, Radiant Moon, and Dragon Eye are regarded as the three higher Aspect Powers. They are generally broader and more powerful than same-rank alternatives, though difficult to cultivate. 17 637

Advancement Methods

Method Description
Cumulative Advancement The most common method: multiple Ability Cards of the same Aspect support and elevate the central Fate Card. 138
Bestowed Advancement A noble grants a position through their royal authority, allowing a compatible recipient to borrow Castle power and advance with a stable but weaker foundation. 138
Elixir Enhancement Spiritual medicines or strange objects containing a relevant Aspect Power help transform a Fate Card; such materials are costly and rare. 52 138
Ritual Elevation A prepared ritual changes or raises an Aspect Power rank, particularly at lower ranks where unstable powers can be converted more easily. 84 138
Three Phases Trial Advancement through a trial whose resulting effects reflect its content; Sylutia's alfalfa-based trial produced abilities related to alfalfa cultivation. 138

Composite Aspects

Composite Aspects are not merely two Aspect Powers used together; they are organic combinations that produce new properties and reactions. 631 632

Composite Aspect / Technique Components Documented Effects
Radiant Moon Speech Radiant Moon + Secret Speech Clarifies obscured history, identifies the ages of relics and events, and can recreate portions of past scenes and records. It also gives written clauses and command laws influence over the spiritual realm. 632
Radiant Moon Steam Radiant Moon + Gold Steam Purifies transformation and forging processes, reducing waste and enabling the refinement of higher-order gemstones and metals. 632
Precognitive Art Alien Star + Radiant Moon Alien Star provides shifting guidance while Radiant Moon filters its noise, allowing focus on a specific moment. 631
Warspawn Beast Blood Law + Beast Fang Special rituals reshape a creature's flesh and bones, granting powerful new claws, fangs, and physical strength. 631
Sprite Mist Shadow + Emerald Nectar Enables plant manipulation, concealment within flower buds, and the creation of traps or pranks. 631

Radiant Moon is especially valued for such combinations: it is difficult to cultivate as a lone core, but can greatly amplify other Aspect Powers and produce unusual changes. 632

Combat Interactions

  • Aspect Powers can restrain one another, particularly at low orders where choosing the correct countermeasure can decide a battle. 291
  • Blood Law and Beast Fang emphasize direct physical strength and can overwhelm same-rank opponents, but are vulnerable to mental attacks and specialized spell effects. 291
  • Nightmare and Mist Shadow excel in mental-domain combat, making them effective against physically focused paths with weak mental resistance. 291
  • Castle provides normalized resistance to abnormal states and opposing Aspect effects, making it effective against corrosive Nightmare and Winter Slumber powers. 291
  • Dragon Eye possesses resistance to Blazing Sun, Winter Slumber, Dead Ember, Radiant Moon, Nightmare, Mist Shadow, and Alien Star due to the legacy of the Seven Law Dragons. 482
  • Specialized same-Aspect abilities can create strength beyond an individual's nominal order through resonance and mutual reinforcement. 171

Role in Society

Those who cultivated the same Aspect Power historically gathered to exchange knowledge, forming the earliest schools. 4

  • Castle underpins royal authority: towns and villages use Castle arrays built around pillars, towers, walls, and castles to create barriers that deter wild creatures possessing Aspect Power. 4
  • The Mage Alliance developed unified standards for rune formats, secret-technique grades, and academy divisions, concentrating particularly on Castle, Secret Speech, and Gold Steam. 176
  • Secret Speech specializes in history, memory, records, codices, and information. It is weak as a direct primary combat path but highly compatible with other Aspects and with the Mage Alliance's rune-based spell system. 341 430
  • Secret Speech can reproduce many spell effects through runes, though spells constructed through it are usually substantially weaker than the same effects cast through a dedicated Aspect. 406
  • At high orders, Secret Speech can record memories, sensations, behavioral patterns, and responses in physical containers, allowing mechanical puppets to act according to engraved information. 379
