-the Aspects of Magic-
-------------------------

Center
--------
Arcane/Neutrality
-Arcane, the supernatural forces that weaves through the universe and being the source of all magic, and is the purest form of the study of the magical arts in all forms. but while Arcane is the most vast magical source, having the most classifications of spells under itself, it diversity and usage is prevent it being a substantially hardy aspect. Arcane may be the most versatile of all the Aspects, but its lack of power prevents it to being able to out perform with the other Aspects of magic, yet it can also become a great companion to the other Aspects by granting them effects and traits not normally accessible to them.

because of its wide and diverse substance, Arcane has been attributed to representing Neutrality in its purest form, not being anything else except for itself, its neither good, evil, harmful, or dangerous. many connect Arcane with Neutrality for its ability to not be influenced by outside forces to obscure their views on life, and allow them to approach obstacles in a verity of ways. yet, this Neutrality also makes those attributed to Arcane to be apathetic towards anything in life, pretending to not notice the troubles of the world and use their many attributes to try and support it.

Inner Ring
------------
(Top) Void/Perception
-Void is connected to space, distance, dimensions, plains, any aspect of being perspective of vastness of the world and universe as a whole. while not the most offensive or combative of the Aspects, those who study in the Void learn to manipulate and bend Space around them, and affect the world around them in ways most others cannot.

with its ability to being open to world and universe around it, Void is often described of being representing Perception, seeing the world in various ways and seeing what might be hidden from common view. those who study the Void learn to see the world around them in different ways, and being able to approach obstacles in life from various directions. however the Void is hindered by ones own inability to see past a limited scope of the world, preventing them from seeing different avenues to different and much better solutions when faced with a challenge.

(Right) Darkness/Knowledge
-Darkness is often attributed with evil, but true darkness obscures the lines of the real dangers and hazards of the world, and those who bravely peer into the darkness and face those dangers head on will find ways in handling the hidden dangers. to blindly wander through darkness is to open yourself to unknowable danger, but to wander through it with a calm mind and a determined and cautious will, will benefit your growth.

its obscurity nature and ability to challenge ones desire to better themselves in the face of adversity, has lead many to have Darkness be a representation of Knowledge. for the world, the universe itself is a large black tapestry that holds many secrets, and those who study it carefully will gain Knowledge of the trials of life that lies ahead of them, and that Knowledge when properly studied and cultivated provides intelligence and wisdom to those who master it. but Darkness obscurity nature can also make those who seek knowledge of the world and universe covet them, peer through avenues of life that should not be sought out, or taken lightly, and use what they had learned recklessly.

(Bottom) Chrono/Progression
-Chrono is the motion of time itself, the ever flowing force that guides one through the journey of life, and challenges them the most in how they grow as a person and as a society. those who study Chrono magic must be strong willed and cautious, for the flow of time is not to be trifled with lightheartedly, for if it is then those who use it incorrectly will often disrupt the balance not only to world around them, but themselves as well.

with its ever flowing presence and its constant state of motion, Chrono is attributed in representing Progression of both person and society. Progression not only cultivates into making what was already set and made, but further expands upon previous ideals and creations to better the world around those who wish to make things better. though Progression can lead to wonderous things being made, if taken to far then it can leave those unable to wisely used what was expanded upon properly, or be stuck in an endless repetitive cycle that while on the surfaces looks new and beneficial can turn out to be the same idea just further expanding the statuesque, not branching out to seek better opportunities and routes to help oneself or others.

(Left) Light/Integrity
-Light is much like its twin, an obscuring force that blinds to those to the dangers and hazards of the world. but those who are brave enough and are strong in character can look past the blinding light, and see the worlds strife and evils and fight them. not always for defeat, but also to bring those lost in the dark or blinded in their view points onto the right path.

while its twin Aspect challenges a person to look into the unknown darkness of the world, and seek out knowledge to better understand the world, Light is more commonly representing ones Integrity. Those who follow the light are challenged in the quality of their character, their beliefs and morals. those who meet those challenges, and accepts all that is of themselves will become a brilliant star, that will set examples for others to follow. becoming a galaxy of stars to light up the cruel hardships of not just the world, but to themselves as well. But Light can also make those who believe that their views of themselves to be the paragon, the very definition of what it means to be a better person, casting their morals and principles aside when they believe they know what the world truly needs. and believe themselves to be the right one to lead others.

Outer Ring
------------
Fire/Passion
-Fire is a wild and brilliant force of the world, being one of the most offensive and destructive of the Aspects of the world, yet raging fires is not all that those who study Fire are capable of. Fire can also be a soothing and calming force, and a means to cleanse malicious and dangerous forces. those who study the ways of Fire must be well disciplined and of strong character to not abuse their power, for if they do then they can become uncontrollable hazard for the world. and to themselves as well, being literally burned and destroyed by their own power.

because of its wild and yet brilliant traits, many attribute Fire into representing Passion which leads people to live fulfilling lives with little regret, as well as channel their Passion into achieve certain goals, or even become a driving force among a group to lead others on. sparking their own Passions. but like those who practice the ways of Fire must be disciplined and of strong character to not abuse their power, they must also temper their Passions otherwise they will get carried away with their desires and life styles, that they could become neglectful of others around them or the world at large.

Air/Freedom
-Air provides life for those of the world that breaths, it carries the sounds of those that speak to convey ones thoughts and emotions, and can be the one to drive the winds of fate across the world. For those who take the time to study the Aspect of Air they not only can use spells attributed to winds and atmospheric phenomenon, but also manipulate sound waves, as well as grasp a desired admiration of all mankind. The power to separate from the world and take to the skies at will.

With its whimsical and unburden properties, Air has been attributed to representing Freedom, Freedom to fully be ones most truest self with no regards or shame of how they are seen by others and the world, and boldly take on challenges that they would face with an a lex aloof mentality. However Freedom can be just as overbearing as those that try to burden someone, because when one believes they are free to do anything and can do anything, they become detached to everything around them labeling them as unnecessary baggage that’ll weigh them down.

Earth/Stability
-Earth is the bedroom of the world, supporting all that is on its mortal surface, and providing everything to ensure those who rely on it comfort, safety, and necessity. The well-educated in the ways of Earth are those who are patients and of sound mind, able to take things in life with a laxed and controlled expression, but these people are also able focus all of their control and patients and turn it to power to tackle any task head on. Even if the task is problematic or even dangerous.

Its finite and grounded disposition has many to attribute Earth in representing Stability, in that those with a good sense of Stability can weather any hardships that the world, and others place against them, but also act as a steady and stable support structure to others if they are needed, as well as not being easily taken down whether it is emotionally or physically. Though this Stability can make one rigid, and unmoving in their beliefs or how they view things, it’s also possible that these people will act like a strong force against others, unmoving in their ability to hinder others because they abuse their innate strengths over others.

Water/Duality
-Water is an ever flowing source, taking on many shapes, and confronting all obstacles with ease and pose. Its ever changing and fluid ways has made many who study Water become resourceful, mindful of the situation and looking for the easiest and most peaceful way. But do not underestimate these people, for if they need to they can become a great and powerful force that will wash everything away.

Because of its candid and tranquil personalities, Water has been described to represent Duality amongst many, due to its ability to change from calm and quite streams, to roaring and fearsome tides. And like Water those who study it also carry a bit of its Duality with them, utilizing its peaceful and tranquil motions in finding more subtle and easier ways to conflict, and to handling challenges of the world set before them. but they must tread lightly, for like a raging storm, they can carried away by their own fluid movement and let their emotions get the best of them, and often times wash things they deem not value away, and tear down obstacle in frustration and anger instead of finding ways around the problem to a better solution.

Metal/Innovation
-Metal is a force that is less known to many, as it is a rare source in the natural world, but is a man-made product of people, its face carries both aspects of the natural and artificial in its Aspects. Those who commit to learn the ways of metal learn to be skillfully minded, figuring out problems that would normally be difficult for others to solve, but the ways of Metal also allows one to shape and mold the world or traits of it to try and make life for them, and others to be more easier and less hard felt.

In light of its conception of being naturally born, and then molded into a refined state, Metal has become the representation of Innovation. Innovation takes on many facets and meanings, and those who follow its ways are also diverse and the most skilled in handling challenges and obstacles, building new things or adapting old ideas into new ones to ensure success. And yet Innovation can lead others into wastefully crafting and building things that seem unnecessary, or build things that others are not educated in to handle properly, while also being neglectful to help better their fellow others to become more efficient with them.

Lightning/Ambition
-Lighting is action in its purest form, unbridled energy that is set loose that strikes at whatever is ahead of it, breaking it down with little effort and ease before fizzling out. Lightning has captured the fascination of many people in trying to harness its power, its speed and unparalleled ability to break down obstacles. Many have taken hold of its traits and harnessed into themselves, channeling its power to further their goals.

Brought on by its speed and power and its reckless might, Lightning has being coined to represent Ambition because those who channel its power will set their sights on whatever their own personal goals are, strike at them with all their effort to make them a reality or accomplish them. this infectious power and drive often times spurs on others to take command of their lives, and try to accomplish their goals with the same enthusiasm and drive. Yet many are also infected with Ambitions ability to challenge life and obstacle, allowing themselves to driven to achieve their goals no matter the cost, even if it means casting others aside and seeking out victory recklessly and blindly for them and them alone.

Ice/Identity
-Ice has many faces to its concepts, sheets of ice, powder or flaky snow, glacial walls, Ice truly has many sides to itself instead of just being cold and harsh. And the many that see this part of Ice are those who understand people, the ones that can see past whatever masks they put up or used to burry themselves in, and see the potential in all things even if others see only the bad and cruel parts of Ice’s faces.

In its ability to have many versions of itself that hold various potential, Ice has been drafted into representing Identity. Identity that when sculpted properly can make you understand yourself the most, seeing all your pros and faults and accepting who you are and the willingness to better yourself, becoming an even greater piece of art. But there are those who can be captivated by their own Identity, seeing themselves in the mirror, and craving to see the parts of themselves they only wish to see, and neglecting the parts of them that could be worked with to turn one into a better person. A person who is not buried in their own Identity, and will not leave others in the cold because they are captivated by themselves.

Nature/Community
-Nature is the well spring of natural life in the world, working in tandem with the other forces to ensure a balanced ecosystem and life style, and for those who follow and practice in the way of Nature often those who are both spiritually and physically contempt, as well as being the most open and self-expressive. As nature tends to reveal of its majesty and is open for all to embrace it.

Because of Nature’s ability to build and establish a balanced system and support itself, it has been attributed into representing Community. A community that is build up starting with one person, who due to their caring and nurturing ways and their ability to accept others openly, where they then support each other and help one another grow to become a better person. But be warned, while a healthy Community can be a beautiful thing that supports the growth of life that people implement, it can also trap others into a caged off circle, or environment that attempts to control those within it so that they can feel powerful over others.
