It's kind of like when history nerds get real salty thinking about the Library of Alexandria.
A young Aiden reads from a book while next to him we see a young Lorielle with wind flowing around her.
Aiden: Why get a degree in Thermics at the Royal Tamarin Academy of Arts and Sciences if you can tap directly into an element of the universe, right?
A line of people, Lorielle in the foreground, holding an arrow. A symbol labeled "wind" decorates the image.
Aiden: Some aspects are pretty common, that means there are tons of documents of people who have had them previously.
Aiden motions to Eesa, who tries their best to ignore him and continue focusing on bandaging a broken ankle.
Aiden: Some are like, Eesa, who has a Rare Aspect, Life: one we know about and have a few records on, but that doesn't show up commonly. And then there are Unique Aspects.
We see soldiers fighting, a building burns in the background.
Aiden: During the Age of Decline, whole libraries about magic were actively destroyed, so there are no records or references to some Aspects.
We see the silver haired girl, holding a ball of light.
Aiden: Those are Unique, meaning either nobody's ever had that Aspect, or we don't have any info.
He leans against a table, bitterly.
Aiden: Thanks to those damned, torch-happy fanatics there's no difference.
