11 Aspects are the in-game name for the four elements of Alabaster Dawn. The two terms are used interchangeably in dialogue and menus, with "Aspect" appearing more in UI labels and "element" appearing more in casual conversation. Each Aspect is represented by its own glyph, can be channeled through Juno's Divine weapons, and gates a unique pair of Divine Arts.

1111 Once Juno has more than one Aspect unlocked, she can switch between them on the fly. The active Aspect powers up the equipped Divine weapons, changing the type of damage they deal and altering how they interact with certain puzzle entities. Each Aspect has its own set of Divine Arts, each of which can only be used while that Aspect is active.

1515 Some environmental puzzles introduce Aspect Panels, tile-shaped switches that convert any active attack to a specific Aspect when Juno stands on them. The launch build includes Aether Aspect Panels, which appear inside the Trial of Aether. These panels let Juno apply Aether damage even while Physis is her active Aspect, which is the main puzzle mechanic of the dungeon's Aether unlock.
