[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 789181, member: 4981"] I was just curious how, and if, you rationalize magic in your game world. I'm not talking rules, or magic level or anything - I'm talking stricktly flavor. Here is mine just to get this party started: Magic, all magic, comes from flows of energy that surround the world like invisible rivers. The casting of a spell is taking some of this energy and through a ritual internalizing it and shapping it to the caster's desire. Overtime casters get more apt at controlling and shapping the energies, thereby learning to cast more powerful spells.

Others though must work hard to connect with the energy flows. These people must perform a daily ritual that allows them to be connected with the energy flows.
