What exactly is Eldrich magic and where does it come from?

[Mouseferatu]

thats not a made-up word. I'm sure that means something Down Under.

Those two facts are not mutually exclusive.

Hiscotly, your derwizzle for confabulation has humperdooed this thread.

But Eldritch? Nothing game-rules special.

If you read the class description in Complete Arcane, it sort of hints that the "eldritch blast" is some sort of baleful magic (which I interpret to be some sort of dark magic). This just creates even more questions.

The phrase itself isn't new to gaming... Its actually used by Marvel writers as one of Dr. Strange's base powers.

Really? I inklingered that it truly embiggened the reader fructaciously.
