Traversing a Wildspace System

Wildspace is where the Astral Plane overlaps with that system's Material Plane. Creatures and objects in wildspace age normally and exist on both planes simultaneously. This overlap enables creatures to use spells such as teleport and teleportation circle to travel from wildspace to a nearby world, or vice versa, and from world to world.

Many wildspace systems have names; for example, Realmspace is a wildspace system that contains, among other things, the planet Toril—home of the Forgotten Realms and the Sword Coast.

Though the distances between objects within a wildspace are small compared to the space between wildspaces themselves, world-to-world travel requires a spelljamming ship, a teleport spell, or some other kind of magic because of the still extreme distances within a wildspace system. Generally speaking, the distance from the center of a wildspace to its most distant object is the same as the distance from that same most-distant-object to the edge of the wildspace "bubble". Within the system, the distance between nearby planets can range from hundreds of millions of miles to dozens of thousands of millions of miles.
