That's why we don't have wizard and dragons and stuff. When the refugees flee to Earth, they bring with them magic items and animals, and the only way to cast spells etc is to draw energy from those items and animals. And, yes, "animals" here includes sentient beings of various sorts.One of they key drivers of action in the setting is the black market for these items and animals, and the attempt by certain factions to figure out a way to kickstart Earth's arcanosphere (it clearly once had one, hence our gods and monsters in the past).how that relates to D&D: I am going to tie it to casters' foci.</blockquote>
