In Diablo 4 Season 1, titled Season of the Malignant, progressing through all seven Season Journey Chapters is the primary goal for many players. For completing each Chapter in Season 1's Season Journey, players are given a variety of rewards, including a number of Aspects both new to the game and new to the Codex, which only existed on Legendary items before Season 1, like Shockwave.

At every tier of the Season Journey players get access to new powers in their Codex, usually one per class, except Chapter 5 and 6 which each reward a classless Aspect. Seven of these Aspects are brand new to Diablo 4: five class-specific Aspects, and the two unrestricted Aspects. Thankfully, it's easy to start experimenting with the new Aspects as they are rewarded at the end of Chapter 1.
