[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8097910, member: 16814"] The PHB talks about an "interface" in exactly one place, where it says that the interface is the weave. So, unless you're claiming that the weave is what is RAW, there's nothing about any other "interface" to talk about. Since this is already an rejected position -- you've just claimed other things can be the "interface" -- then the argument that "interface" is a required and RAW description of how magic works is also already rejected. You cannot pick part of a thing and say it's the whole thing. The "interface" in the PHB is the weave. If you do something other than the weave, you're already outside that explanation. If you allow for other things, you're outside that explanation. This "interface" is specific to the weave, as it's described as a thing between raw magic and practitioners that allow practitioners to control the otherwise nearly impossible to control raw magic. That's it. If you swap in something else, you don't get to insist that the "interface" part remains and is required -- the "interface" is inseverable from the weave description. You cannot have it both ways. And, this is accepting arguendo that the description of the weave is RAW rather than flavor. I do not agree this is so, because the weave doesn't impact any game rules. And, you've also already agreed that it can be changed and a different flavor added. What I think you intend to mean by "interface" is just whatever explanation for how magic works in a given setting. But that answer could simply be "it just does" at which point there's no "interface" there. [/QUOTE]
