Elements of Dwaia

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. The elements are fundamental. 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 expresses, 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

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.

Many low-level creatures and objects are made of just the Base elements. Since low-level things make up the majority of all things, these elements are very important, though they're rarely as powerful as their modified forms.

Bo

is the element that allows entities to be sentient. All sentient entities contain some bo, but some frequently used examples are:

• Cowbo
• Human

Energy

is the element that connects all the others such that they can combine to form the universe. Energy element entities include:

• Autogeist

Water

is one of the most basic elements on Dwaia, it is very moist and dank. Water element entities include:

• Cancerous Tumor
• Humans

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:

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

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)
Death (†)	Skeletol	Blood	Zyklon 🅱	Bone	Spirit	Evil
Life (∲)	Faeon	Meat	Breath	Plant	Soul	Good
Regression (↓)	Trashmannium	Sewage	Braps	Trash	Rancid kebab	Shitpost
Progression (↑)	AI	Steam	The Cloud	Car Parts	Firewall	Knawledge
Ascension (⧺)	Ego	Juice	Pomf	Steel	Spice	Distraction
Ultimate (♯)	potato	Meme juice	Succ	Harambium	Japalenon	Autoanium
