Thaumonomicon Entry

Every item, object or creature is bound by varying mystical elements known as Aspects. Aspects describe the object's make-up and bent towards the magical elements. A simple stone may possess the aspect of Terra while more complex items like trees or even creatures can be made up of various different aspects in varying amounts. There are close to 40 known aspects with more being discovered all the time.

Vis

Aspects that have somehow been separated from their object and purified is known as Vis and is very valuable, both as a crafting ingredient and as a subject for magical research. Vis is most often bound into wands, but it is possible to store it as a magical liquid, known as Essentia.
