When you get a Legendary Item during normal gameplay, you can equip it to use the Aspect, or travel to the Occultist to Extract the Aspect from the Legendary Item, destroying it in the process. Once you have an Extracted Aspect, you can Imprint it onto any Rare Item or Legendary Item that you wish. If you Imprint a Rare Item, it becomes a Legendary Item, and if you Imprint a Legendary Item, it overwrites the existing Aspect gaining the new effect. You can also find Aspects from the Codex of Power. Read about the Codex of Power and how it works here.
Aspect Categories
Not all Aspects can be Imprinted to just any Rare or Legendary Item. Aspects are divided by category, and depending on its category it can be Imprinted on different slots. This forces you to think a little more deeply about your build instead of just putting every damage multiplier you can find on all your items.
