An Atlantean Aspect, or simply Aspect, describes the appearance of certain powerful magic users when they are overcome by emotion or using strong magic. Aspects are a survival mechanism, a way to scare off attackers. More powerful individuals, such as Arcana, have more distorted Aspects, whereas younger Atlanteans have more subtle Aspects, possibly because blending in is more valuable to survival than standing out.[1]
Aspects are generally ephemeral, unable to affect the real world in physical ways. Rune is unique in that his Aspect is powerful enough to burn people.[2] Children are not able to manifest Aspects.[2]
