[QUOTE="BrokenTwin, post: 8949118, member: 7017978"] I don't 100% agree with all of these (there being no literal gods was always a massive selling point of the setting for me), but all in all I really like these ideas. In my home version of the setting, I've broken down the sources of magic as such: Arcane: the defiling magic. Consumes the magic/soul of the planet itself on use, with casters being able to consciously draw more power by Defiling their immediate area. Divine: this magic is granted by powerful entities disconnected from the natural world. Pretty much solely the domain of the sorcerer kings at this point, though them all being selfish and power hungry means they're slow to give and quick to take away. Primal: magic granted by communion with nature spirits, who are now few and far between thanks to the defiling. The only magic capable of actually restoring the planet's magic/soul. Psionic: an expression of oneself made manifest. This power is recharged through personal connections with other intelligent life. Most people have a little experience using it, but few realise just how powerful it could be if harnessed as a collective. [/QUOTE]
