===== Characteristics =====
Solum is an aspect representing the element of Earth. This could be the ground or dirt underneath or sand and dust. It is one of the main elements we interact with. It is commonly associated with weathering and erosion, stages of the Rock Cycle.

==== Fusion ====
As with all [[furria:aspect#base aspects|base aspects]], &solum;Solum can be combined with another base aspect to create a new [[furria:aspect#fusion aspects|fusion aspect]].

Each combination of base aspects has its own way of creating an orb of one fusion aspect.

=== ===
<fs 1.4em>&caelum; Caelum</fs>\\
**[&flumine; + &solum;]** //**Main Aricle:** [[aspect:Caelum]]//

Created when &flumine;Flumine evaporates from the earth and goes to the sky by &solum;Solum.\\
**Orb Process:** Created when a ball of earth absorbs water, and water evaporates from the earth.

=== ===
<fs 1.4em>&silva; Silva</fs>\\ 
**[&aer; + &solum;]** //**Main Article:** [[aspect:Silva]]//

Created from &aer;Aer flows life into into &solum;Solum.\\
**Orb Process:** A ball of air surrounds a smaller ball of earth to breathes life into it.

=== ===
<fs 1.4em>&nox; Nox</fs>\\ 
**[&flamma; + &solum;]** //**Main Article:** [[aspect:Nox]]//

Created when &solum;Solum blocks the light generated by &flamma;Flamma.\\
**Orb Process:** Created when a hollow earth orb is given a very hot core of flames.

==== Inverse ====
With most elemental aspects, &solum;Solum has its own weakness and strength being the same aspect. As with other Base Aspects, this means &solum;Solum has two: &aer;[[aspect:Aer]] and &flumine;[[aspect:Flumine]].

Naturally, these aspects can be used to create Fusion aspect. However, these aspects can act as a weakness or strength if one of these aspects overwhelm the other.

=== ===
<fs 1.4em>&flumine; Flumine</fs>\\ //**Main Article:** [[aspect:Flumine]]//

When fused together, these aspects can create &caelum;[[aspect:Caelum]].\\
  * **Too much &flumine;:** Water dissolves the earth.
  * **Too much &solum;:** Earth completely absorbs and dries up the water.

=== ===
<fs 1.4em>&aer; Aer</fs>\\ //**Main Article:** [[aspect:Aer]]//

When fused together, these aspects can create &silva;[[aspect:Silva]].
  * **Too much &solum;:** The air gets smothered by earth and cannot function.
  * **Too much &aer;:** The air will blow the earth into many tiny particles and will suffocate life.
