"Again, the short version is that you woke up from being unaware of what we call the 'Supernal' world...that's the higher order of reality." She pauses, then says, "Let me start over a little.""Most people believe that the physical world, the normal world that we all live in, is the only reality. They're not aware of any other way. You can think of them as being asleep, and in their sleep they believe their dreams are real. The truth is that everything here, all of this you see with your eyes, hear with your ears...it's all just as hazy and...and ultimately as illusionary as a dream."She smiles a little as she says, "And like a dream, if you KNOW it's a dream, you can change things. The true reality, the Supernal reality, is more powerful...more REAL...than this world. If you're awake to it, you can sort of pull it to you, around you...and use the Supernal world's power to override this world. That's, in a nutshell, how magic works. Once you get it, it almost doesn't seem like magic at all. Everything of this world you used to think was infallible, like gravity and the laws of physics...you start realizing that they're just...figments. The real truth is in the Supernal realm. Magic is just taking the figment...and replacing it with the truth.""Anyway, the REASON it's so hard to connect to the Supernal is because there's this kind of...gap. A rift. It blocks the Supernal off from the mortal realm. To bridge the gap, and create a connection between your soul and the Supernal realm, there are these five towers. The Watchtowers. Each one represents something different, and calls to a different kind of person. I say represents, but that's misleading though because it makes them sound like metaphors. They're not though. They're Supernal...they're REAL. Realer than real. Truer than true...and when you write your name on it, it creates a sympathetic resonance between you and the Tower. So now, you're "plugged in," kinda. It's only a matter of time before you start figuring out how to use that connection.""Me and Morrigan and everyone...we can help. You're still dreaming here, with the rest of us. But like us, now you KNOW you are. You're Awakened. You're...a mage."</blockquote>
