Aspect - Teirs

Okay, writing the last post and sleeping on it, I have this pretty solid system.

In descending strength.

Dominate aspects can be minor, Major or Noble. Dominate just means that the person can preform magic and use most enchanted items.

Noble aspect, highest end that non-magic users may become, high end magical equipment such as Dominate aspect's staffs of whatever.
Noble aspects normally mean that it's owner is almost supernatural, or IS supernatural in ability, noble aspects hosts tend to be above average in most accounts, and tend to have some clearly supernatural perks which are passive, like being able to move impossibly fast, or being able to shrug off magical attacks with relative ease.

Major Aspect, most common aspect among developed non-magic users. Good magical equipment that non-dominates can use.
Major aspects are the generally useful ones, while nobles are more powerful it's much easier to develop major aspects instead. A major aspect could give a solider generally better specialize proformance, and also let him or her use minor aspect enchanted items.

Minor Aspect, Most common among the populace, relatively mundane magical equipment.
The great majority of aspects are minor, they don't tend to help their owner in any real manner, except making it a bit harder for possession to effect them.

Basic Aspect, Undeveloped aspects on people, or short lived enchantments or spells created by dominates.

Generally Major and Noble aspects completely prevent ghostly or demon takeovers, there's something already inside which is strong enough to keep the door shut...And at least it's a positive relationship with it's host. Minor resists a bit, but commonly fails.

Major and up also prevents a good huge sum of mind controly things aswell...And so on.

Character examples, Kloe is a dominate major aspect, as a spell blade sort of skillset.. Andrian is a Noble aspect, how ever he is a old world adventurer FIRST, and got the aspect later which freaks people out. Jareko is a Noble Dominate, transplanted, the aspect doesn't agree all the time because of this.

Kloe also shares her major dominate aspect with ALEX her ferret familiar, both are major dominate aspects but together they have the power of a noble dominate when it comes to magic output.

Now that I have some minor defineing of types of aspects, next time I will give examples of character with aspects and how it actually effects them.
