03 / The nature of the Cube

The Four
Great Powers.

All of existence and the powers within it are derived from the four Great Powers. Their entanglement gives rise to the entire universe and governs its behavior.

  1. 01Intrinsic natures and properties

    Potencies

    The intrinsic natures of existence itself: sixty irreducible properties by which created things are what they are.

  2. 02Life itself and its nine elements

    Celestial Domain

    The Celestial Beings are not living, they are not alive, they are very life itself and the source of life throughout all of creation.

    Magical by-productsElementalism · Sorcery · Blood Magic · Necromancy
  3. 03Matter, energy and composition

    Quasars

    The Quasars are the very substance of matter of which all existence is composed. There is no substance or material without them.

  4. 04Relationship, connection and flow

    Penumbrae

    The Penumbrae are the relationships and flow connecting everything across space and time, without them there would be only isolation.
