[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7966321, member: 83242"] Back in my 1e days I had the following distinction: [B]Divine Magic. [/B]The magic of the gods is divine magic. Mortal's could only use as a gift from the gods and it is typically accessed through prayers, etc. However, because it came from the gods, this type of magic could be used almost anywhere. [B]Arcane Magic.[/B] Originally there was no arcane magic. Then, one god discovered/invented arcane magic. However, this opened up the multiverse to the far realm (not what I called it then, but it is analogous) as this is the source of arcane magic. When this rift was opened many eldritch horrors came through and immediately went to war with the gods. In the end the gods won, pushed back the eldritch titans and closed the rift. However, in the Prime Material the gods imprisoned many eldritch titan within planets. These imprisoned titans leak arcane magic. It is this leaking magic that mortals use to cast arcane spells. So only on planets with an old one imprisoned can mortals use arcane magic. [/QUOTE]
