And it is completely possible to say that your world does not have that interface. A statement that Max rejected, informing the poster that they were actually "subconciously" adding an interface, because it was impossible to have magic without one. My argument is less about the RAW telling us that there is something like the weave in multiple places, and more about Max's complete disregard for people telling their own stories. By claiming that you have to have an interface, that subconciously you are creating an interface in your world, even when you state there is no interface. Max is going beyond, and into the realm of trying to define something beyond DnD and into the entire Fantasy genre. I have no problem with the Weave. I have no problem with every official DnD world having something like the Weave. I have a problem with people stating that you must include something like the Weave in every homebrew world, because it is a mandatory function of the fiction of DnD. It isn't. And you can't tell people how they must build their homebrew worlds.</blockquote>
