Aspects
Aspects are different kinds of mystical elements that is bound to every single item, object or being that can be found in the world of Furria. These aspects also act as energy and lifeforce within every single being.
There are only 60 known aspects in the world with 10 being vanished aspects.
Representation
Each aspect is a property or a representation entails to different aspects of life and how the world works. An aspect can have an effect to other aspects: they can be enhanced, advanced, combined, broken down, hindered or nullified. As not every material can be represented by a unique aspect that gives unique traits, it is considered to be neutral and having no advantageous or disadvantageous properties, marked as Medius.
For the game series, not every aspect can be used and/or found inside the game as not every aspect can be fully implemented and used in the game's inner workings and can be simply marked to represent an item, character or skill to be categorized in-game.
List of Aspects
There are only 60 known aspects: 18 being elemental aspects, 32 that are symbolic, and 10 that are vanished.
Elemental Aspects
Elemental Aspects are the essential primary aspects that makes up most of the materials found in the world. These aspects are divided into five different sections: base aspects, fusion aspects, queer, central and natural aspects.
Central Aspects
Central Aspects are the representation of having one or multiple elemental aspects or having no aspect at all. Medius being the state of that no aspect is available, and Indivisus having a mix or all elemental aspects.
Base Aspects
Base Aspects are natural born aspects that make up most of all aspects available and can be commonly found in the world. These aspects can be fused together into fusion aspects through fusion or other similar aspects. It can also be gained from dissolving fusion aspects.
Fusion Aspects
Fusion Aspects are a combination of two base aspects. Though can be easily found in the world, they are formed through fusion, natural occurrence, or by other means. These aspects can be broken down into their base aspects when needed.
Combinations
Combination Table
For some, the combination of aspects would not make sense. The following shows how each aspect is formed, along with their aspect combination.

- [ + ] Glacies: Water is cooled down by cold air to make ice.
- [ + ] Caelum: The water cycle: evaporation and absorption.
- [ + ] Silva: From the phrase “Breath of Life”.
Natural Aspects
Natural Aspects are naturally occurring elemental aspects that cannot be combined or fused to make a new aspect or separated and broken down into base aspects. Due to this, they are also not created from base elemental aspects but from natural occurrences instead.
Queer Aspects
Queer Aspects are aspects that are naturally created from experimentation through technology. It is not known how these aspects started to appear but researching its history has yield not much information.
Symbolic Aspects
Symbolic Aspects are aspects that relates to different actions one can do to an object. These aspects are mostly found in items and objects. These aspects are divided into three different sections: alter aspects, surface aspects, level and interact aspects.
Alter Aspects

Use for Typyl
In the case of the Typyl, aspects are harnessed as a form of energy, using it for machines and devices as well as being used for creating and casting magic in their day-to-day lives. They are also conservative in this act, as they can deconstruct items into raw aspects, dissipated into the atmosphere in order for it to be re-used in nature or used themselves to create or enchanted into items.
Typyl are one of the few creatures in Furria to have a flexible aspect having up to three aspects that can represent them: a primary, secondary or tertiary aspect with having two or three being more common than only having one. These aspects define what kind of Sorcia they can be best at using. They are also able to obtain an aspect by passively gaining them through experience, by mastery or learning how to use each aspect accordingly. These aspects are also defined as furrial classes as a result in a case that one wants to learn or master the aspect they choose.
In addition, the Typyl are known to have representatives and is the embodiment of each Aspect with one of two classes: a Presav and a Sav. They are considered to be important in Typyl culture, specializing in what aspect they represent.

- The concept of aspects came in July 14, 2013. This was called “Elemental Aspects” before.
- Elemental Aspects turned into a sub-section after when the system was recreated in February 1, 2016.
- All the names of the aspects are in Latin. It was considered for all of the names to be French instead, other times each having an original name entirely.
- The idea of vanished aspects came from the fact that it was hard to think of more aspects with the old 32 aspects originally planned that is already part of the 50. A table shows the original 32 aspects.
- Some aspects undergo name changes: some only once and one aspect twice. These changes were made so it can be pronounced and remembered easier. Another table shows these name changes.
- The vanished aspects were also different before. It was changed to the new standard since June 29, 2016.
- The original 10 vanished aspects with their old replacements: (in order)
- Perdo (replaced by )
- Imitio (replaced by )
- Signum (replaced by )
- Serenitas (replaced by )
- Sensus (replaced by )
- Figura (replaced by )
- Anima (replaced by )
- Cito (replaced by )
- Auctus (replaced by )
- Sermo (replaced by )
- Most aspects have an inverse aspect that possibly can go against them and some not:
- With inverses:
- , , , , , , , and are inverses of itself.
- Two sets are inverse in a rotation and vice versa:
- The four elemental base aspects:
- > > > >
- > > > >
- Three of the symbolic surface aspects:
- > > >
- > > >
- is the only aspect with two different inverses for different reasons:
- vs : same concept as vs .
- vs : control vs disorder.
- No inverses:
- All Corporeal Aspects that is not or
- All Queer Aspects
- There are no aspects that started with the letter B, H, J, K, O, Q, U, W, X, Y and Z.
- The colors picked for all of the aspects came from 50 popular UI swatches but with added saturation.
- All of the (previous) forgotten aspect colors are picked from the 2012 Spring/Summer pantones.
- Aspect indexes started from #00 before than #01: making Medius #00 and only count up to #49, despite it being 50. The value is adjusted to avoid confusion.
- Aspects have two symbols to represent them before: a bold version and a regular version. The bold version is used for images while the regular version is for text. This is dropped for a newer set so these symbols can be easily handwritten.
