NOTE: Do not remove element descriptions. They contain information that will be vital to creating individual element pages.
Elements are the indivisible parts from which the universe of Dwaia is built. There are 6 Classes of elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Energy and Bo. Earth is the base for all that is solid and immobile. Water is the base for flexible and fluid things. Air is the base for gases and fumes. Fire is the base for spicy and therefore glowy things. Energy is the source of motion and change. Bo is the source of sentience and free will. All these classes combine together to form life and the world. The elements are indivisible. This means that they cannot be broken apart or otherwise destroyed, unless they are annihilated with their anti-element. Equally, the creation of an element requires the creation of an equal amount of its anti-element. To clarify, because Harambe is an element, Harambe cannot be destroyed without creating an anti-Harambe first. However creating an anti-Harambe involves creating a Harambe as well. Thus the Harambe Equivalence Constant or HEC (The number of Harambes in existence minus the number of anti-Harambes) is, as its name implies, a constant. This is called the principle of Equivalent Exchange.
Every living entity on Dwaia has an element assigned to them, weaker entities usually have basic elements, while stronger, more ascended entities have (or are themselves) advanced elements.
The purest elements are found at the Spires, which are made from the ultimate forms of the elements and exude an energy over their respective face of Dwaia based on that element. This energy is what gives each face of Dwaia its distinctive environment.
Base elements
Many low-level creatures and objects are made of the Base elements. Since low-level creatures make up around 99% of all creatures, these elements are very important, though they're not as powerful as their Advanced or Ascended forms. There are six Base elements:
Bo
is the element that allows entities to be sentient. All sentient entities contain some bo, but some frequently used examples are:
Energy
is the element that connects all the others such that they can combine to form the universe. Energy element entities include:
Water
is one of the most basic elements on Dwaia, it is very moist and dank. Water element entities include:
Aspects
An Aspect is a potential aura that any base element can be imbued with, changing its basic properties. Each element can take on exactly one aspect, so there can be up to as many aspects as their are elements in a compound. Aspects rarely exist outside of being a quality of elements, and cannot stably exist independently — They however can be magically or alchemically transmuted from one base element to another. There are six aspects, which means seven possible states for each element. Aspects are divided into two subgroups: The Cardinal Aspects: Death, Life, Regression, and Progression — and the Vertical Aspects: Ascension, and Ultimatum.
The six aspects are:
Death
Life
Regression
Progression
Ascension
Ultimatum
Notation and nomenclature
To get the scientific symbol for an element, affix the symbol of its Base element with the symbol of its row (its Aspect). For example, the symbol for Pomf is Ae⧺ (pronounced variously as "air ascended" "ayy plus plus" or "ayy peepee"), because it lies in the Ascended row and on the Air column.
The symbols have the following pronunciations:
Element Symbol | Pronunciations | Aspect Symbol | Pronunciations |
---|---|---|---|
Te | tay, earth, terra, toe (rare accent) | ⧺ | plus plus, double plus, peepee, ascended, ass |
Aq | ack, water, aqua, moist | † | dagger, spookified, spook, death, cross |
Ae | ayy, air, aer, wind, breeze | ∲ | harp, naturalized, nature, nat, life |
Ig | igg, fire, ignis, blaze, phoenix (archaic) | ↓ | down, regressed, trashified, trash |
Qu | cue, energy, quintessentia, quintessence, quint | ↑ | up, progressed, technolized, tech |
Bo | bo | ♯ | sharp, ultimate, ulti, pound, hash, octothorpe |
Table of elements
There are 6 Base Elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Energy and Bo. Earth is the base for all that is solid and fundamental. Water is the base for all that is greatly flexible and liquid. Air is the base for gases, fumes, and invisible force. Fire is the base for spicy and also glowy things. Energy is the source of motion and change. Bo is the source of sentience and free will. All of these classes combine and interact to form life and the world.
Further, there are 6 Aspects: the Cardinal Aspects:Tech, Nature, Trash, and Wickedness, and the Vertical Aspects: Ascension, and 'Ultimation.
Any base element may take on exactly one Aspect, thus producing an array of 42 elements, that is, 6 base elements + 36 elements with aspects:
Base |
Bo (Bo) |
Water (Aq) |
Air (Ae) |
Earth (Te) |
Fire (Ig) |
Energy (Qu) |

Ultimate Forms
Succ
Succ is the ultimate reverse apex form of the base air element. It was discovered when Spatakiller first delved into the core mechanisms of Floaty Cro Place. The first title he gave this substance was "Reverse-Blow" but he was hit over the head for being stupid and it was then named Succ instead. In any case, he found out that Succ was the main source of the floatiness of Floaty Cro Place.
