[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9065734, member: 6801228"] Nothing in 5e states that. And, frankly, not all real life elemental traditions have a fifth element, nor do all of them have ether. You are just declaring a truth irrespective of the source material. Which is bad practice for integrating with the source material. Which can work... except the Astral is the home of the Gods. So it doesn't fit neatly for me. Now, I agree, my viewpoint here ALSO doesn't match with 5e. But this is my point. You want to organize spells based on a view of DnD cosmology that is unique to you... and then declare that this will be universally useful to everyone because everyone agrees with your view. It is an effort doomed to failure. This is a fun interpretation. It also ignores that the Deep Ethereal connects to the Astral, the Lower Planes, and the Upper Planes, and the Ethereal is reachable in all of them. So the Ethereal pervades all the realms and planes of reality. And again, this is just your interpretation. Trying to make a universal magic system based on your unique viewpoint of the cosmology is not going to create something everyone agrees with. [/QUOTE]
