Right...the Phlogiston Plane would be the Hyperspace of the D&D Multiverse. Exactly!Still, how would you keep the existing lore about the details of the surface of the crystal spheres themselves? Some are very detailed...like there's beings who walk around on the crystal and stuff. Would this be happening in the Phlogistonic Plane? If you have to drop out of Phlogiston in order to enter the crystal sphere, how would people be able to interact with stuff which lies on the inside surface of the crystal sphere? Maybe the immediate inside vicinity of the crystal wall is the "Border Phlogiston"?In either case, if you're not in the Border Phlogiston or Deep Phlogiston, you just see black empty space at the edge of the solar system. (?)But if you're in the Phlogiston Plane, you see all the cool weird crystal wall and flat pools of radiance, as described in Spellammer. The radiant, flat "stars" on the crystal sphere are only a 2D locus for the 3D stars which lie far distant in the Material Plane. BTW, to tap Neo-Platonic worldview, the Phlogiston could also be called the Empyrean "in the fire". The fire which lies beyond the Firmament. In contrast, the Phlogiston was simply the flammable potential in every earthly object. Empyrean is even closer to the D&D usage. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empyrean" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empyrean</a></blockquote>
