Not all primordials are recognized—with such concepts as Fate, Luck, and Dark Energy, the '''universe still hides more secrets''' than mankind has managed to discover. While the first primordials were handcrafted by Order and given purpose in shaping the world, those that have awakened after the initial six primary powers have had to identify themselves on their own.

While primordials do not follow traditional ranks, their '''powers diminish according to their generation'''. Chaos and Order were the initial archaic entities to exist, creating the first generation; out of Order came the next six Principals, forming the second generation; '''any primordials born after the first eight are considered "third generation"''' and thus lesser than those preceding them. They are still far beyond any Archangel's or Deadly Sin's powers but pose no imminent threat to their older counterparts.

Primordials are embodiments of their elements, their origins and sources—one cannot exist without the other. They are '''permanently bound to their concepts, unchangeable, and without power to evolve'''. Just like archangels and Deadly Sins are embodiments of their sins and virtues, primordials are equal to their elements. In a sense, the Primal Essences '''have no natural body to inhabit or control''', but rather a humane projection of something they can appear in among mortals. Hence, their "human bodies" are immune to any harm, and '''without a single form to concentrate their essence, harming a primordial chips away their effect in the universe'''. Sufficiently damaging a primordial may cause their power to bleed out of their human form instead of blood, forming a stream of concentrated power lethal to lesser beings.
