Aspect

A manifestation of a divine or near-divine being with less power, more mortality, and thus a more distinct existence than an avatar. Though not truly a distinct being, and incapable of truly acting against the wishes of their originating entity, aspects have a much greater degree of separation, and stand on a level closer to mortal to allow for more direct interaction that would otherwise be cumbersome or infeasible. Aspects can be killed, but the death of an aspect results in little to no harm to the original being, and they have no restrictions on forming a new aspect upon the death of the old.
