Thaumcraft Guide to All Aspect Combinations

Leave a comment

Aspects are the various elements of the Thaumcraft 4 that lots of objects in the world are made of. Based on the research, Aspects can be separated into two categories. Those two categories are Primal and compound. For your information, aspect is made from compound aspects of two different tiers. Frequently, it is going to be one tier up than the higher tiered of two component aspects.

Two Types of Aspects: Primal and Compound

  • Primal Aspect

Primal Aspects is the basic type of aspect. Apparently, there are six of them: Aer (air), Ignis (fire), Aqua (water), Ordo (order), Terra (earth), and Perditio (entropy). Those form the basic building blocks of all other aspects.

  • Compound Aspect

Compound Aspects are made from two other aspects. The easiest compound aspects are created from two primal aspects. However it is potential to have extraordinarily complex compound aspects made from consecutive layers of simpler aspects. The easiest instance of this compound aspect, is the aspect of Victus. It is a combination of Terra and Aqua.

If you want to see what aspect an item possesses, simply you are able to hover your cursor over the item and press sneak (shift). Then, you will be able to view what aspects that item has and also will know what amounts of each. Although you have to learn that item with a Thaumometer, until the aspects can remain unknown.

For your information, there are 48 different aspects in the base mod, though mod addons can add more. Besides, all aspects own their type of Mana Beans, Ethereal Essence, and crystalline forms.

Aspect Tables (All Aspect Combinations)

In the text below, we are going to share a list containing Aspects and combinations present as of Thaumcraft 4.2, with notes on prior versions. Remember that Aspects added by add-on mods are listed in a separate section. Lots of aspects had their recipes changed in versions 4.1 and 4.2, their legacy recipes are given in the “notes” column. Some aspects were deleted entirely in 4.2:

    • Granum (seed, Ordo + Victus)
    • Saxum (stone, Terra + Terra)

Also the listed are various sources for essentia of each aspect, both the items to be distilled, and any compounds of the aspect. The sources provided below are not meant to be exhaustive, merely the most common and available sources at various points in the game. Apparently, there are the renewable sources provided for all, except Tempestas. Additionally to the sources in the text below, ethereal essence and Mana beans can have any aspect and can be distilled for essentia of that aspect.
