The Weave

The Fabric of "The Weave"

The Weave, controlled by the over goddess of magic or one of her successors (those of the Arcane Domain). It is the way through which raw magic is accessed, tapped into and used by casters of magic. The Weave is the way in which magic presents itself to beings for their use, and it flows throughout the world, touching almost every corner of existence, with exception of dead-magic zones. The Weave coexists with the Shadow Weave.     Nature of the Weave The source of magic, all the studies of casters, arcane and divine alike, and the many energies and forces that existed around the planes. Many see it as a "fabric" on which magic was "drawn", and damaging the fabric caused magic to go awry. Some textbooks deliberately falsified the nature of the Weave, as an attempt to limit the knowledge associated with spellcasting. Casting a spell was equivalent to telling the Weave to rearrange itself to create an effect. The Weave is also linked to fate, and a rare few individuals could manipulate such connection to alter the future to their advantage. However, usually the Weave punishes those who used "her" in such a way.  

Special powers

The Weave is able to grant extra powers to certain individuals. Either the weave herself or deities of the arcane domain have been known to grant rare talents that allowed its users to manipulate the Weave in a variety of unique and powerful ways.
