Arcane magic is almost a science. The fabric of reality is held together by threads and stitches. Conceptually similar to ley-lines, these threads can be tugged and pulled to change the appearance and makeup of the fabric that they help to create. Somatic spell components represent that pulling and tugging on the fabric of reality.AIM-54 said:Where does magic come from and why? What makes arcane magic different from divine magic? Is there a difference? Do both types exist or is there only one type based on where and how it is accessed?
Divine magic is believed to be a gift of the gods, exempt from the stringent magical laws that bind Arcane magic. This is not true, however. Divine magic actually comes from a powerful consciousness that is both above and beyond the three gods. The Triad are aware that some such power must exist, but beyond that, even they do not know its nature. They propogate the myth that it is they who grant divine magic, despite the fact that this is not actually the case.
Followers of the Soullord tend to learn true Clerical magic, and both the lord of the expanse's and the heathlord's followers tend to manifest druidic magic (because of their belief, not because of the gods)
