The Spiritual Periodic Table of the Elements

Illustration: Soulladium. An exceedingly rare crystalline compound from the famous Mines of Melancholy.

The art of interpreting the Spiritual Periodic Table of the Elements was lost along with the original manuscript, and reconstruction is still under way. Certain things are however known.

Every element mentioned in the table serves some essential purpose in the multiverse. The multiverse itself is so vast and has so many different spiritual chemical requirements that not all purposes can be known.

1. Elements are divided, broadly speaking, into five main categories according to their essential quality and use:

a) Divine Elements

b) Elements of Sense

c) Elements of Virtue

d) Elements of Power

e) Elements of Vice
