Aspect

Aspects are powerful ghosts of mages who have died with regrets. Their powers become amplified in death, and they have the ability to bond with and lend their powers to a living person in order to achieve vicarious absolution. When this happens, the mind of the aspect and the mind of the host entwine, creating a new person who is not quite the aspect and not quite the host. This bonding process is very risky; the acceptance of such concentrated power can kill the host. For this reason, aspects will typically test potential hosts before bonding with them. Once made, a bond cannot be safely undone, and attempts to extract aspects have always resulted in the host's death. A bond may also fray on its own, causing the shared mind to deteriorate.

Morric Cnihyll is the world's premier scholar in aspect extraction.
