Aspect

Aspects of the Divinity are mysterious entities that confer supernatural abilities when bound to a suitable individual. They are also called fragments of the Godhood, or more commonly "stars", after their appearance as tiny, star-like glowing jewels when separated from a host body. Those who wield stars are powerful individuals known as gods, though they are usually just as mortal as anyone else. Rare individuals with very high Aspect affinity may become undying gods.

Properties
Aspects will only bind to certain individuals. Affinity is determined by some interplay between genetics and personality; according to Barsamin being related by "an eighth of blood or better" to a god makes you dramatically more likely to become one yourself. Affinity to an Aspect grants immunity to its effects. For example, Aramaz is able to resist commands empowered by the Aspect of the Law, while Ismyrn and Barsamin are undamaged by a lightning strike from Solornel.

Aspect of Flight
Gods of Flight have shown the ability to levitate and propel both themselves and other objects. Anahit claims that the common name is inaccurate, and it would be better referred to as gravity, not flight.

This star is traditionally associated with the Queen of Birds, and so has special significance to the people of Antaram. As of year 836 the Aspect of Flight has no host and remains in the possession of Clarion, while King Eodar rules the Queendom solely on the basis of bloodline and a lack of sisters. Rashk foresees the birth of a new Queen of Birds to "a dark-haired father of Tarim and a fair-haired mother of the Republic", and Vahagn notes that were a foreign-born goddess to contest the ancestral rights of Eodar's daughters, Antaram would be thrown into civil war.

Known gods:


 * Sparkasuki
 * Antaram
 * Anahit

Prospectives:


 * Houri

Aspect of Iron
Power over the element of iron and related compounds, most notably blood and steel. Clarion shows the ability to transform shackles into swords and her own blood into chains, and can crumble her entire body into dust. Houri dissolves iron chains with a prayer to her, a rare instance in which a god's power is invoked without their physical presence. It's unclear which of these abilities are inherent to the domain of Iron and which are only available to Clarion in particular as an undying goddess.

Known gods:


 * Clarion (undying)

Aspect of the Law
Power to command the minds of others through voice. One of the more fearsome Aspects; Kalsamo is able to compel Clarion to never use a sword upon another god, and the curse lasts for centuries after her own death. The reliance on sound renders it ineffective against Tsovinar, however.

The Living God of Law traditionally oversees the people of Tokhar from Kandakari's Court, high in the northern mountains.

Known gods:


 * Kandakari
 * Tokhar
 * Kalsamo
 * Marzban
 * Tamal

Prospectives:


 * Aramaz

Aspect of the Storm
Power over electricity and the weather.

Known gods:


 * Solornel
 * Barsamin

Prospectives:


 * Ismyrn

Aspect of Secrets
Power to read the minds of others through eye contact.

Known gods:


 * Indranil
 * Chald
 * Enestai
 * Vahagn
 * Kapriel

Aspect of Sight
Power over physical sight and foresight into the future. Rashk is able to cure blindness, become invisible and see for many miles in all directions. His predictions of the future are often open to interpretation, but may be more clear to him than he allows others to believe.

Known gods:


 * Rashk

Aspect of Strength
The properties of this star are largely unknown, as Firenzerral remains chained in the Snarling Spire. It presumably relates to enhanced physical strength.

Known gods:


 * Firenzerral (undying)

Aspect of Truth
Known gods:


 * Arakel
 * Diadem

Aspect of Waves
Power over wave-associated phenomena in physical matter, including sound, water and earthquakes. Tsovinar can deflect bullets, silence rooms and collapse an entire castle. She is capable enough to defeat and capture the God of the Storm in direct combat.

Known gods:


 * Tsovinar (undying)

Aspect of Wind
Belonged to a friend of Tsovinar before her untimely death. May currently be in the possession of Clarion.

Known gods:


 * Vlinder
