[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 1632755, member: 307"] In my campaign, magic is the accidental byproduct of the creation of the Three Worlds, and the competing prime powers. The short version goes like this: at first there were two powers, the y'Grym and the Ki'tas, who both sought to create their vision of the world (in the plane of [i]Tir Canol[/i]). But as each created, he overlaid the creation of the other, and twisted or destroyed it. Each created servants to aid in their conflict, but were unable to gain an upper hand. Each then created a separate domain that they could use to create new servants and give them homes to fuel their divine war (the planes of [i]Ilkeas[/i] and [i]Solum Altus[/i]). But each was able to invade and infect the other's planes with their own essence, forcing the creation of the Heavens and the Hells to provide a source of relaible soldiers. Finally, the Ki'tas attempted to merge the planes into one, crashing them together and destroying much of the y'Grym's work. In response, the y'Grym fought the Ki'tas directly, and overlaid much of his creation with y'Grym's. At the last, the y'Grym used his own essence to wall the Ki'tas (and the Heavens and the Hells and other associated planes, such as the plane of Shadow) off from the three worlds, sacrificing himself in the process, and creating a barrier to direct interaction (the Ban). It is now assumed that both the Ki'tas and the y'Grym were destroyed by this conflict. Magic is derived from the flows of energy left behind by their creation, and their war. But few know this: this information is mostly only known to those divine and infernal powers walled into the Heavens and Hells that are subject to the Ban, and they aren't telling the whole story to mere mortals.
