[QUOTE="Ibram, post: 1633507, member: 17640"] Acording to the Elves, from whom humans first learned the magical arts, the source of magic is another realm of existance called the Aetherium. The AEtherium is a realm just out of reach lying at right angles to the mortal world. Now this medium is far from constant or stable, it twists and churns like an endless ocean. Thus sometimes magic can be very powerful but very dangerous to use and other times it can take years of traning and every ounce of willpower just to force the smallest flicker of flame into existance (fortunatly such times are rare and brief). The Aetherium is in some ways a reflection of the mortal world, yet the mortal world is in some ways a reflection of the AEtherium. Both are shaped by the will of sentient creatures, and thus its just a manner of learning how to bring the two realms together to create what is known as magic. However this is not an easy or safe task, the AEtherium is strange to mortal creatures and tampering with it can lead to madness and self destruction, casters may inadvertenly be caught up in an AEtheric storm and shreaded into dust or worse: devoured by one of the Daemons (a generic term that refers to all manner of spirits that reside in the AEtherium). Such has been the way of things since the dawn of time billions of years ago, so many ages have past since then that if the reason was ever known that it has been lost. [/QUOTE]
